A galaxy is made up of all sorts of matter, including stars. Many stars have object orbiting them, such as planets, asteroids, and even other stars.
Solar systems orbit the galactic centre of a galaxy. (Solar systems don't orbit a galaxy, they ARE the galaxy)
There are no exploding stars (supernovae) in our solar system. Supernovae occur in distant parts of the galaxy, outside our solar system. The nearest known supernova to Earth was Supernova 1987A, which was located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our Milky Way.
Solar System: The sun with the celestial bodies that revolve around it in its gravitational field. Galaxy: A collection of star systems; any of the billions of systems each having many stars and nebulae and dust.
Obviously, the Universe is the biggest of that lot. Next biggest is "galaxy", then solar system, then star, then moon. A comet is usually bigger than a meteorite, but not always.
Starting from least to greatest magnitude in size: Earth Sun Solar System Milky Way Galaxy Universe
Galaxy. Solar system contain planets and stars. While thousands of stars makes up a GalaxyA Galaxy.Our Milky Way Galaxy is ~100,000 light years across.Our Solar system is a mere ~0.005 light years across.
Our solar system is in a galaxy called the Milky Way. There are pulsars in our galaxy, but not in our solar system.

In order of size from largest to smallest. Universe > Galaxy > Solar System > Earth. The Erthis one of nine planets in the solar system. All of which orbit the Sun. The Sun, is star in one of the tails of the (Milky Way) Galaxy. The Galaxy, with one of millions of galaxies in the universe.
Barnard's Star is located in the Milky Way galaxy, which is the galaxy where our solar system is also located. It is a red dwarf star and is one of the closest stars to our solar system, at a distance of about 6 light-years away.
The solar system is not part of any other star system. It is part of a galaxy called Milky Way.
A single star and its planets - a solar system - are a tiny part of a galaxy. It is like one cell from your body.
A solar system is smaller. There are billions of solar systems in a single galaxy.Each star is a solar system. (some have planets, some don't)When you look at the sky at night, every star is a solar system and all of them are part of the Milky Way galaxy.A galaxy cluster is a group of galaxies.
A solar system is a single star in this case the SunA galaxy is an area in the universeA universe is every thing.
We live in the Solar System, which is part of the Milky Way Galaxy.
No. All the stars you see at night are in our galaxy, but outside of the solar system. The only star in our solar system is the one at its center: the sun.
There are no exploding stars (supernovae) in our solar system. Supernovae occur in distant parts of the galaxy, outside our solar system. The nearest known supernova to Earth was Supernova 1987A, which was located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our Milky Way.
Yes-- and in your solar system too. Wait are you like an alien from a different galaxy? We live in the same system... so yes the sun is a star.
