Our sun, the Earth, and all the other planets in our solar system reside within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Our local Orion Arm of the Milky Way is some 3,500 light years across. It's approximately 10,000 light years in length. We're located close to the inner rim of this spiral arm, about halfway along its length.
