Ah, the Milky Way is not actually located in the Virgo Cluster. It's in a group of galaxies called the Local Group, along with our neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy. But don't you worry, every galaxy in the universe is unique and special in its own way, just like you. So keep looking up at the stars with wonder in your heart, my friend.
The Earth is located within a supercluster called the Laniakea Supercluster. It is a vast system of galaxies that includes our Milky Way galaxy and thousands of others, bound together by gravity. The Laniakea Supercluster was defined in 2014 by astronomers studying the motions of galaxies in the universe.
The Solar System contains the Earth-Moon system. The Milky Way galaxy contains the Solar System. The Virgo supercluster contains the Milky Way galaxy. The Universe contains the Virgo supercluster.
Ah, such a happy little question! The beautiful galaxy where the Milky Way lives is called the "Local Group." It's a friendly neighborhood of galaxies where we all swirl around together, creating stunning scenes in the cosmic art gallery.
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 Andromeda Galaxy is a member of the Local Group, which is a small cluster of galaxies that includes our Milky Way galaxy and a few dozen other smaller galaxies. The Local Group is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is a larger structure of galaxies in the universe.
The Milky Way is part of the Local Group Cluster, part of the Virgo Super Cluster.
The Milky Way is part of the Virgo Supercluster.
the Virgo cluster of galaxies is about 60 million light years away from the Sun.
The Milky Way galaxy is part of the Local Group, which is a collection of several galaxies. The Local Group, in turn, is a part of the larger Virgo Supercluster.
Viewed from the Galactic North Pole, the Milky Way galaxy is moving anticlockwise.
Earth belongs to the Milky Way Galaxy, which belongs to the The Local Group, which is part of the Virgo Super Cluster
The Earth is part of the Milky Way Galaxy which in turn is part of the Local Group Cluster. The Local Group Cluster itself is part of the Virgo super cluster.

That's at a distance of about 54 million light-years from us.
According to Wikipedia, 53.8 ± 0.3 million light-years.
The nearest cluster of galaxies is the "Virgo Cluster" discovered by Charles Messier in 1784. The Virgo cluster lies at/near the center of the Supercluster we belong to - also called the "Virgo Supercluster". Our "Local Group" (comprising of The Milky way, Andromeda, and another 25-30 smaller galaxies) is part of the Virgo Cluster. The center of the Virgo cluster is at a distance of about 18 Mpc (Mega parsecs) approx 60 Million lightyears from us [which translates to a 'redshift' of only z=0.004]. Ain't the universe huge? Note: There are quite a few 'groups of galaxies' between us and the center of Virgo Cluster.
