Our galaxy is visible in a night sky that is not obscured by clouds or city lights. It's a band of stars called the milky way. Because we are in it and it's flat like a plate we see it edgewise so it looks like a band of stars that kind of blur together.

Is sky bigger than galaxy?

The sky that we look up to is the universe itself. You see stars, you see the sun, the moon, some near planets. Asking "is the sky bigger than the galaxy?" makes no sense as a question. You can even see the Milky Way galaxy in the sky on a clear night sometimes. I would say the sky is the galaxy, in a way... The sky is space. We see beyond Earth when we look up to it at night. However our field of view is definitely smaller than a galaxy, we can't see all around the outside of Earth from a single position. In this sense, a galaxy is bigger than the sky. But as I said, the question itself doesn't really make much sense.


Can we see our own galaxy in the night sky?

Yes. Well, parts of it. If you look down, on the floor, you see planet Earth, which is part of our own galaxy; and all the stars and planets you see in the night sky are part of our own galaxy. Moreover, if it's dark enough, you can see a band of light, which is what gave our galaxy the name, "Milky Way".
