The Sun is located in what is called the "Orion-Cygnus arm" of the Milky Way.
The galaxy in which we are located - and thus the galaxy in which our Sun, and our Solar System, is located, is known as the "Milky Way".
The Sun is located about 25,000 light years from the galactic core in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Yes , our Sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy ; it is positioned in the Orion Arm of the MWG .
The Sun and the solar system is located somewhere at the end of the Orion arm (local arm) of the Galaxy. The Sun is about 30,000 light years from the center of the Galaxy. The radius of the Galaxy is about 50,000 light years.
The Perseus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy contains the Sun.
The Sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy within a region of the Milky Way known as the Orion Arm.
one of the arms that go in one direction
All around us - we are inside it. The Milky Way is "our" galaxy - the galaxy we are part of. The Sun and therefore the Earth 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 about 25,000 light years from the Galactic Center. The distance between the local arm and the next arm out, the Perseus Arm, is about 6,500 light years.
The Orion is a spur of the Perseus arm of the Milky Way. Our sun is in this arm. All the stars and constellations we can see with the unaided eye are also in the Milky Way Galaxy, as is the Orion Nebula (a vast cloud of interstellar gas).
Milky way is the galaxy in which our Earth and the parent star Sun are located.
The Sun is presently located about 1/2 to 2/3 out from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, in the Orion-Cygnus arm.
