You are simply seeing the Milky Way - our home galaxy.
"The Milky Way" is the name of our galaxy, but it's also the name of the faint band of light sometimes visible in the night sky.
That band of light is composed of millions of stars too faint to be seen individually without optical aid.

Why can't we see billions of galaxies in the night sky when there are not many clouds in the way?
A lot of the time people who live in cities don't realise how many stars there are in the night sky - because the light pollution from cities keeps you from seeing them. Light pollution is the light from human sources - like cities - that stops us from seeing most stars. The glow of city lights extends up into the night sky. If you have never been to an isolated area, like a national park, at night - you should. Look up at the sky on a clear night and you will see millions of stars. We cannot of course see every galaxy that exists in the night sky - that's because what we call "the night sky" is really only a view of a small part of it. It's a bit like looking out the window of a car as you pass by scenery. As the earth moves, we get to see some of the stars - but because it continues to move, we don't see all of them at once. For example, the stars in the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere are quite different to the stars in the Northern Hemisphere - but again, you will only notice this if you are looking at a night sky clear of light pollution. There are, in addition, some galaxies that we can't see without powerful telescopes because they are too far away to be seen with the naked eye - the light from other stars and galaxies blocks them out.
