Our solar system is tiny compared to the size of the galaxy. If we take the outer edge of the solar system to be the outer part of the Oort cloud, then it is about 2 light years in diameter. By comparison our galaxy is about 100,000 light years across. The size ratio is similar to that between a grain of sand and a football field.

How does the size of the Milky Way galaxy compare to the solar system?
The Milky Way galaxy is much larger than the solar system. The Milky Way is a collection of billions of stars, including our sun, while the solar system consists of just one star (the sun) and its planets, moons, and other celestial bodies. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years in diameter, while the solar system is only a few light-hours across.

What is the size of the Earth's solar system in comparison to the Milky Way galaxy?
Very, very, very small. The Milky way is about 100 000 light years in diameter, the Solar system is about 10 light hours in diameter. The diameter of the Galaxy is thus about 90 000 000 (ninety million) times bigger than the diameter of the Solar system.
