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.

Why is mercurey is your galaxy?

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).

Is the solar system located in the center of the milky way galaxy?

No. Our solar system is about 2/3 of the way out one of the spiral arms of our galaxy, a LONG way from the center. Considering that the center of the galaxy (of many galaxies, actually) is probably occupied by a supermassive black hole, it's probably safer to be out that far.
