Why do the stars of the galaxy appear to form a bright band that extends around the sky?

The Sun is one of a billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. It is a little less than a quarter of the way out from the centre of the galaxy. Think of yourself standing a quarter of the way out from the centre of a huge crowd. If you look towards the centre, you will see a huge number of people but even looking in the opposite direction there will be lots. So whichever direction you look in, there will be loads of people. It is only if you look up or down - across the plane of the crowd - will the numbers thin out. I hope this analogy works for you.
