Ok you asked for it

Our Sun is 1,400 light years from the galactic center of the Milky-way now given that the sun and all of us here are on a trip around the Milky way for the next 220 million years it takes to do one cycle of the Milky-way and also the Milky way is on a trip which takes 50 million years to rotate, thus this answer is variable ( not, I am sure, that this matters in our daily lives)

This equates to 300,000 (the speed at which light travels in near kms) x 60 ( to make one minute) x60 ( to make the hour) x 24 ( to make the day) x 1400 (the distance of the sun to the galactic center) x 364.25 (to turn days into years) =132,179,040,000,000,000,000,000 kms from the galactic center or about 130 thousand billion billion kilometers

or 130 billion trillion kilometers

or 130 thousand million million million kilometers

or better still 1,400 light years

What is the diameter of the earth the earth's orbit the sun the milky way and the solar system?

The Earth's diameter is about 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles). The average distance of Earth's orbit around the Sun is approximately 149.6 million kilometers (93 million miles). The Milky Way galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years, while the solar system, defined by the influence of the Sun's gravity, extends roughly 100,000 astronomical units (AU), or about 1.87 light-years, to the outer edges of the Oort Cloud.


If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy what would be the diameter of the galaxy in light years?

The diameter of the Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years. If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk, we would still be within the galaxy's boundaries, so the diameter would remain around 100,000 light-years.
