What are two other nown galaxy's?
Here are some galaxies (all of them part of the Local Group): The Milky Way, our own galaxy The Andromeda Galaxy, another large galaxy The Triangulum Galaxy, another large galaxy The Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy close to the Milky Way The Small Magellanic Cloud, another dwarf galaxy close to the Milky Way
Why Milky Ways galaxy called Milky Way?
My galaxy is called the milky way because at night when observers spotted the number of stars in the sky, to them it looked like someone spilt some milk in the sky, therefor milky way.
Which galaxy does the sun belong to?
These are the basics. Our sun is the star at the center of our solar system. A solar system is made up of a star and any other objects connected to it by its gravity. Our sun has the standard eight planets along with their moons, and also countless other objects including asteroids and comets. Our galaxy, The Milky Way, is estimated to contain between 200 billion and 400 billion stars. Some of those stars have planets orbiting them, and others do not. Our solar system then is just a very very tiny part of the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is one of billions of observable galaxies throughout space.

Would the distance between the Milky Way to the next nearest galaxy be the lenght of a light year?
The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is currently considered to be the closest galaxy to the Milky Way. It is 25,000 light years from our solar system and 42,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. Its status as a galaxy is still disputed in some scientific circles. If the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy loses its galaxy status, then the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy would reacquire the title as the Milky Way's closest neighbor. It is it is roughly 50,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
What is after the milky way?
After the Milky Way galaxy, there are many other galaxies in the universe. Some of the closest galaxies to us are the Andromeda galaxy and the Triangulum galaxy. Beyond these, there are billions of other galaxies in the universe, each containing billions of stars.
Is the planet Earth in Milky Way galaxy?
Yes. It is not like the Earth owns the Milky Way but some of us Earthlings call the galaxy in which the solar system resides (with the Earth) for The Milky Way [Swedes call it "Vintergatan" (the Winter Road)]
