Is your solar system bigger than other galaxies?

Answer 1

No. A galaxy requires more than one star in the first place and all currently known binary or multiple star systems are larger than our solar system, and galaxies are typically hundreds of millions times larger than any star system.

Answer 2

We don't really know. So far we have only hints that others even exist. The others

are just too far away to be seen clearly.

==================================

When you consider that in our own solar system, Pluto wasn't even discovered

until about 80 years ago, and we still don't know how far out the 'Oort Cloud'

and the 'Kuiper Belt' extend, you realize how tough it will be to measure the

size of the systems around other stars.

Although we've discovered several hundred 'exo-planets', we know that our

current technology only allows us to detect the larger ones. We won't be able to

judge the size of the complete system that goes along with a star until we know

that we've detected everything in it, and that won't be for several more years yet.

Answer 3

Yes. The sun is part of the solar system, so the solar system is obviously bigger than it.

Answer 4

No, our solar system is much smaller than other galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy, for example, contains billions of stars, whereas our solar system only has one star (the Sun) and its planets.
