The stellar disk of the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, and is believed to be, on average, about 1,000 light years thick. It is estimated to contain at least 200 billion stars and possibly up to 400 billion stars, the exact figure depending on the number of very low mass stars, which is highly uncertain. Extending beyond the stellar disk is a much thicker disk of gas. Recent observations indicate that the gaseous disk of the Milky Way has a thickness of around 12,000 light years ---twice the previously accepted value.
The Sun (and therefore the Earth and Solar System) may be 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.
So a rough estimate, because there is no real defined outer edge, puts our solar system about 25 thousand light years from the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy.
[See Link] for pictorial impression of our location in the Milky Way.
None, actually; reach down and touch the Earth, and you are touching part of the Milky Way. We are part of the Milky Way.
We (the carbon units who inhabit the Earth) have named our galaxy the "Milky Way". If there's anybody else out there, we have no idea what they call our galaxy, or whether they care.
Sun dosen't revolve around moon. The Sun never revolves around the Moon. The moon revolves around (orbits) the Earth. In turn, the Earth revolves around the Sun. The Sun (and the rest of our solar system) revolves around the Milky Way. It takes approximately 29.5 days for the moon to orbit the Earth, approximately 365 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun and approximately 226 million years for the Sun to orbit the Milky Way.
After the Milky Way, the next galactic entity in Earth's address is the Local Group, which is a small group of galaxies that includes the Milky Way.
The milky way, and its a barred spiral galaxy.
We are in the Milky Way galaxy.
Zero. We are in it
None, actually; reach down and touch the Earth, and you are touching part of the Milky Way. We are part of the Milky Way.
The galaxy that contains Earth and the rest of the Solar system is the Milky Way galaxy.
It is very easy. Since the Earth is in the Milky Way, you don't even have to move to get to the Milky Way.
Milky Way Galaxy, Sun, Earth
No. The earth is inside of the milky way Galaxy.
Zero. Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
In* Yes, there is life in the Milky Way. As the Milky Way harbours the Earth which is home to many species of life.
Interestingly, it doesn't matter whether you prefer the answer in kilometers,in miles, or in inches. The exact figure is still zero. Earth is IN the Milky Way.
The Earth is inside the milky way galaxy. It's our own galaxy.
The solar system (the planets, the earth and the sun) is a part of the milky way, and rotates with the other stars the milky way consists of. The milky way is therefore not going to collide with the earth.
