Where is our sun and solar system in the milky way galaxy?

Our sun, also known as Sol, is of average size as stars go. Much larger stars exist in our galaxy, as well as much smaller stars.


How does the size temperature age and brightness of the sun compaare to other stars in the milky way galaxy?

our sun compared to other stars falls in the category of pretty average because our sun isn't to small or to big which helps support life on earth, itis also yellow which isn't veryhot because the hottest stars are blue or white. our sun is also in its main sequence ( like 90% of the rest of the stars


How does the sun compare in size and color to other stars in the galaxy?

If the sun were the size of a grapefruit how big would the milky way galaxy be?

Well if the sun were the size of a grapefruit we would not have anything in this solar system to compare it to, so lets make the sun the size of a grain of sand (2mm), the milky way would then be the size of our Sun, which is just over 109 the size of earth... however we are basing this off width, being that the Milky Way is disk shaped.


A star the size of your sun will never be a blackhole?

That is correct. A star the size of our Sun will not form a black hole when it dies. Instead, it will likely become a white dwarf. Black holes are typically formed from the remnants of more massive stars.

The Milky Way is our home galaxy while the Andromeda galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way. They both contain billions of stars, but the Andromeda galaxy is slightly larger in size compared to the Milky Way. Additionally, they are on a collision course and are expected to merge in about 4 billion years.
