The Solar System[a] consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects bound to it by gravity, all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago.

A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system that consists of stars and stellar remnants, an interstellar medium of gas dust, and an important but poorly understood component tentatively dubbed dark matter.[1][2] The name is from the Greek rootgalaxias [γαλαξίας], literally meaning "milky", a reference to the Milky Way galaxy.

What galaxy and star system is closest to the US?

You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.You might as well say, closest to the Earth, or to the Solar System - since distances within the Solar System are insignificant compared to the distances to other star systems.The closest star system is Toliman, also known as Rigil Kentaurus, or Alpha Centauri.The closest known galaxy is a dwarf galaxy, the Canis Maior Dwarf Galaxy - a satellite of our galaxy.


Where is Mars located in the solar system of your galaxy?

Not quite sure what you mean with "solar system of your galaxy". Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Mars's semi-major axis (in a sense, the average distance from the Sun) is 228 million kilometers, or 1.52 AU.
