Well, I am not exactly sure what you mean but the Sun is located 26,000 light-years from the galaxy's center in one of the spiral arms. In the galaxy, all stars orbit around a central region or core. It takes about 225 million years for the sun to orbit the center of the Milky Way. That's as much infotmation as I can give to you. Hope that helped and your question is somewhat answered. :D

Where would you find the brightest part of a galaxy?

Most of the times, the brightest part of the galaxy is at the ceentre due the higher density of stars .Also if the galaxy is a spiral then the brightest part of the galaxy are the spiral arms because they are the star formation areas in the galaxy

What two things form a star?

One could say talent and a lot of practice. :-) The real answer begins with a force that triggers the process. From Wikipedia: "The formation of a star begins with a gravitational instability inside a molecular cloud, often triggered by shock waves from supernovae (massive stellar explosions) or the collision of two galaxies (as in a starburst galaxy). Once a region reaches a sufficient density of matter to satisfy the criteria for Jeans Instability it begins to collapse under its own gravitational force." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star The second thing is the accumulation of sufficient mass to form a star. Estimates vary on the minimum mass, but it's at least 75 times the mass of Jupiter. With that criterion met, gravitational collapse results in heat through compression of the gases. When the heat is sufficient to initiate nuclear fusion, a star is born.

Do all stars belong to a galaxy or can a star exist without belonging to a galaxy?

All stars we currently know of are part of a galaxy. Stars are born within galaxies from clouds of gas and dust. If a star were to exist without belonging to a galaxy, it would likely be a result of very rare and extreme circumstances, such as being ejected from its parent galaxy due to a collision or interaction with another galaxy.
