The Sun (and therefore the Earth and Solar System) are found close to the inner rim of the Galaxy's Orion Arm, in the Local Fluff inside the Local Bubble, and in the Gould Belt, at a distance of ~25,000 light years from the Galactic Center. See link for a pictorial representation

The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, and the home galaxy of the Solar System, and of Earth. The Solar System is located in the Milky Way galaxy halfway out from the center, on the inner edge of the Orion-Cygnus arm, essentially in the suburbs of the galaxy.

Everywhere. The solar system is in the Milky Way galaxy rather than the other way around.

AND

Nowhere. The "milky way" (the band of mostly faint stars having a cloudy or milky appearance in the night sky) is far outside the solar system.
