The Universe may hold over a trillion (1,000,000,000,000) galaxies. A galaxy might have several billion stars. The planetary portion of the Solar System is several billion miles in diameter; no star is that big, although some red giants would reach the Earth if they were centered on the Sun.

What is the size of galaxy NGC 1132?
NGC 1132 is estimated to be around 320,000 light-years in diameter, making it larger than our Milky Way galaxy. It is classified as a giant elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Eridanus, approximately 320 million light-years away from Earth.
Why are Jupiter and Saturn called giant planets?
They are both much larger than any of the other planets in our Solar System.
What is large cool star formed when a star runs out of hydrogen?
A supergiant or red giant. They are normally around 3,500 degrees C and are very bright, near -5 on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram. These are the largest stars in the galaxy and universe.
What is an active young galaxy with a giant black hole in the center?
Let me clarify one thing... Basically, ALL galaxies, or almost all of them, have a giant black hole at their center. (If any galaxy does NOT have such a supermasive black hole, then it is likely that it had one in the past, and that it was ejected out of the galaxy.)
What type of galaxy is your system in?
Our solar system is located in the Milky Way galaxy, which is classified as a spiral galaxy. It is estimated to be about 100,000 light-years in diameter and contains billions of stars, including our sun.
Which is larger galaxy or stars?
A larger galaxy can be 10 times brighter than the milky way.The larger galaxies in the universe are the giant elliptical galaxies.These are larger egg-shaped galaxies with trillion of stars.They can have diameter of 6 million light year across.
What is the biggest to smallest thing in these words Solar system sun moon universe galaxy gas giant terrestrial planet oort cloud asteroid meteorite?
Universe, galaxy, solar system, oort cloud, sun, gas giant, terrestrial planet, moon, asteroid, meteoriteThere are ambiguities. It is possible for a planetary moon to be larger than a terrestrial planet (Ganymede vs. Mercury, for example), and the oort cloud is placed on the list as a part of the larger structure of the solar system, even though it's extent may dwarf the solar system's planetary regions. Some asteroids may be larger than some moons.
What is Xenoverse?
Xenoverse is a giant universe larger than Metaverse and Multiverse and our Universe .

Quark --> Earth, sun, red giant, galaxy, universe
What is galactic cannibalism?
It's the fanciful, sensationalist, attention-grabbing term coined by some reporter, to describe the process when one galaxy collides with another galaxy, merging the two into one giant, irregular galaxy.
Where you stand in the universe?
Personally, I am a human on earth, which revolves around the sun, which is one star out of billions in our galaxy, which is part of a galaxy cluster, which is one of billions of galaxy clusters in the universe. For all we know, there could be multiple universes within the giant vacuum of space. So I am an extremely minute spec on the landscape of the universe.
How many rings do the giant planets have?
It depends on the term 'giant'. If 'giant' refers to larger than earth, then all of the giant planets in our solar system have 3 rings in total.
How many stars does an average giant galaxy contain?
An average giant galaxy contains a trillion or more stars.
What describes giant stars?
Giant stars are massive, luminous stars that have reached the later stages of their life cycle. They are larger and hotter than main sequence stars, like our Sun, and are often in the process of expanding and cooling as they exhaust their nuclear fuel. Giant stars are crucial for the creation of heavy elements in the universe through nucleosynthesis processes.
What are the collective nouns for astronomy?
