Well, no. That is what happens when the planet earth orbits the sun.

Our sun doesn't exactly orbit the Milky Way. Rather, it travels along with it along one edge.

Big, compared to what? The Milky Way is what it is, hundreds of billions of stars that have formed more or less together. The question is, why isn't it bigger?

We believe that many galaxies collide and merge; the Hubble has taken many photos of galaxies about to merge, merging, and recently merged. Our Milky Way galaxy may be one such; some astronomers claim to see up to 4 other "recently swallowed" smaller galaxies within it. And in about 4 billion years, we expect that the Milky Way will collide with and merge with the Andromeda galaxy.

Everything in the universe moves under the influence of gravity, and the gravity of an entire galaxy is quite powerful. The Sun is part of the Milky Way, and like everything else, orbits the center of the Milky Way.

Because the Milky Way is the galaxy that life is in. We also know so much about the Milky Way and it's contents such as the stars, planets, and solar systems.

And if you are talking about the candy bar, it's because it has a Milk Chocolate shell baked around sweet, melted caramel. and every bite is like taking a bite out of Jesus.
