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.
Another word for galaxy is "star system" or "stellar system."
