Our galaxy is named the Milky Way, for the band of light stretching across the sky through the constellation of Sagittarius which they ancient Greeks thought resembled milk spilled along a path.
Light pollution renders this beautiful effect invisible in most urban areas. On moonless nights in the country or out on the ocean it is extraordinary.
What else can I help you with?
Is the solar system about halfway between the center of the Milky Way galaxy and its outer edge?
The solar system is the Milky Way galaxy, Earth, and all other planets and galaxies are the solar system.
Is your solar system at the center of our galaxy?
No, the solar system is not in the centre of the galaxy, it's roughly halfway between the centre and the edge.The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains the Earth. This name derives from its appearance as a dim "milky" glowing band arching across the night sky, in which the naked eye cannot distinguish individual stars. our solar system is in the half way through the milky way.
In which galaxy is our solar system?
We call the galaxy we live in the Milky Way. We call the sun at the center of our solar system Sol. We call the planet we live on Sol or Terra.
What is a solar system or a galaxy?
Solar system is a system not a galaxy. It is located in Milky Way galaxy.
Is a galaxy a part of a solar system?
Nope, Solar System is part of the Galaxy.
Is the solar system about halfway between the center of the Milky Way galaxy and its outer edge?
The solar system is the Milky Way galaxy, Earth, and all other planets and galaxies are the solar system.
Do galaxies orbit an object?
Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.
What is in center of solar system?
The Sun is in fact at the center of our solar system and all our planets revolve around it (in an elliptical path-- which means in an oval-ish form). However, a super-massive black hole is at the center of our galaxy (the Milky Way). Our solar system is located at one of the spiral arms of the galaxy, and there are many more solar systems and stars etc. in our galaxy than the ones in OUR solar system.
Where is your solar system located in your galaxy?
About 25,000 light-years from the center.
What is the distance from your solar system to the center of the galaxy?
About 26,000 light years.
How many light years is our solar system from the center of the galaxy?
25,000

Are all the stars you see in night inside the solar system or outside your 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.
How far away is our solar system from the center of our galaxy?
25,000 light-years.
What is a solar system or a galaxy?
Solar system is a system not a galaxy. It is located in Milky Way galaxy.
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.
