It is not any distance from it. Our solar system is in the Milky Way.
Halley's comet is part of the Milky Way. Although it moves very far out from our solar system, it never leaves the Milky Way.
The Sun is about 27,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way, roughly 2/3rds the way out from the center to the edge of the galactic disk.
our solar system is on a spiral on one of the milky ways many spirals. we are in the milky way galaxy which is 100 000 light years in diameter and 10 000 light years thick at the centre.
The moon is in the Milky Way. Just like Earth and everything else in our solar system.
The milky way galaxy is roughly a disc shape the is around 1000 lightyears thick on average and 100,000 lightyears in diameter. Our solar system sits roughly 26,500 light years from the centre.
The solar system is by far the smallest.
Our whole solar system, all the planets and everything, are part of the Milky Way galaxy. So, asking how far doesn't really make sense, because Neptune is in the Milky Way.
Our entire Solar System is inside the Milky Way galaxy. This includes Mercury.
Our entire Solar System is inside the Milky Way galaxy. This includes Mercury.
This would be equivalent to you asking, in the middle of the shallow end of the pool, how far away you were from the water. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy; it is all around us.
Halley's comet is part of the Milky Way. Although it moves very far out from our solar system, it never leaves the Milky Way.
The Sun is about 27,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way, roughly 2/3rds the way out from the center to the edge of the galactic disk.
Somewhere close to 28,000 light-years.
We are located in a galaxy known as the Milky Way. It doesn't seem likely that our Solar System originated in a far-away galaxy like the Andromeda Galaxy.
The Sun (and therefore the Earth and Solar System) are found close to the inner rim of the Galaxy's Orion Arm, in the Local Fluff inside the Local Bubble, and in the Gould Belt, at a distance of ~25,000 light years from the Galactic Center. See link for a pictorial representation
Mercury is part of our Solar System; our Solar System is part of our galaxy. Look at it this way. Our galaxy - the Milky Way - has a diameter of about 100,000 light-years. We are not precisely in the center of the Milky Way, but everything within the Solar System is within a radius of about 1 light-year - far less in the case of planets in the Solar System (the 1 light-year refers to the Oort Cloud).
