Organization: The part of the universe closest to Earth is the solar system. This system compromises of Earth, the sun and other planets. But also smaller objects like dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets. The solar system is part of a galaxy (an assembly of stars dust and gases which are brought together by gravity). The galaxy where the solar system is, is the Milky Way galaxy. Past the Milky Way galaxy, there are many more galaxies.

Time/Distance: The universe is mostly measured in astronomical units since the units used on Earth are too small to measure the universe. An astronomical unit ,Au, is the average distance between the Earth and the sun. This is about 149,597,870.691 km or 150 million km. They also use the speed of light to measure distance. Light moves at 300,000 km/s. In a year light travels 9.46 × 1012 km. The distance is a light-year.
