Our Sun and the planet Earth (Along with all the other planets and other stellar stuff) comprise the Solar System. Our Solar System is part of the Milky Way Galaxy.

False. The Earth is located in a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way, not the "Mickey Way". The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that contains our solar system.
No, the center of our solar system is the Sun. A galaxy is a large system of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity, and contains billions of stars, such as the Milky Way galaxy where our solar system resides.
It is sometimes difficult to tell; our judgment of the size of another galaxy is greatly influenced by the DISTANCE to the other galaxy, and the distance to another galaxy is sometimes tough to know with any precision. Astronomers have revised their distance estimates several times, and we cannot know that we're right THIS time. But based on what we currently believe to be true, the Milky Way is a larger-than-average galaxy similar to the Andromeda galaxy.
There is no such privileged point in the Universe. You might say it is; but then, ANY other point is also the center of the Universe. Or it looks that way.
It it a collection of planets and other object orbiting around one of 100 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, which is one of at least 2 trillion galaxies in the visible universe. Pretty insignificant, yes?
Our galaxy is commonly referred to as the "Milky Way" galaxy.
False. The Earth is located in a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way, not the "Mickey Way". The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that contains our solar system.
No it does not. It is my basic understanding of this theory that the 'true center' of the universe would be mostly devoid of material.
Yes it's true and it is the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way.
Yes.
No. Of course not. The universe is big enough to hold earth and all the other planets in the Milky Way Galaxy and all other galaxies and the sun and the moon and the stars. There is no way that the universe could be smaller that Earth. =)

well, there is only one star in OUR solar system, we call it the sun; but there are about 100 BILLION stars in the milky way galaxy, of which our solar system is a part of
This would be the list in general, although there are probably moons somewhere in the universe that are larger than the earth. Earth's moon; the earth; the sun; the solar system; the galaxy; the universe.
False. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, constituting about 75% of its elemental mass.
