Where in the universe is our solar system and milky way?

Milky Way: About 100,000 light-years in diameter

Universe: Unknown, but the observable Universe has a diameter of about 92 billion light-years.

Solar System: There are different definitions for the limits of the Solar System; if you include the Oort Cloud, you would have a diameter of about 4 light-years.

That's a radius of about 2 light years, taking you about half way to the nearest star.

With many other commonly used definitions, the "Solar System" is much smaller.

What time of the year is the Milky Way visible?

Every star you see is in the Milky Way, so you can say it is visible throughout the year. A particular line that looks like a trail or a sort of milky way goes through the night sky and can also be seen all year round in different constellations.

What's the significance of dark matter?

Depends what you mean by "significance."

We know there is SOMETHING out there in our Universe that exerts a gravitational force but does not otherwise interact with ordinary, baryonic matter. However, we do not yet know what this stuff IS. So, in the same way that highly penetrating rays are still called 'X' rays -- even though they are no longer so mysterious that we need to give them the moniker 'X' -- we presently call this stuff "dark matter."

When we finally are able to figure out what dark matter is, it will most likely radically change our understanding of the nature of our Universe -- in the same way that x-rays did.

It may turn out that dark matter will have no effect on our daily life. Or, once we understand what this stuff is, it may turn out to be as important to us as x-rays are today. In that sense dark matter may or may not have much "significance" to most people.

How many moons does the Milky Way Galaxy have?

There are lots of spiral galaxies, so you shouldn't speak about the spiral galaxy as if there were only one, and while there are lots of moons inside galaxies, you may be thinking of galaxies that have other galaxies which orbit them; our own galaxy, the Milky Way, has the Greater and Lesser Magellanic Clouds as satellite galaxies, which perhaps is what you had in mind. A satellite galaxy is not a moon, however.

How many stars are there in each Galaxy?

Over 100 billion just in ourgalaxy. So more than 100 billion stars in a galaxy!

Is the milky way a source of light?

The Sun's light actually reflects from the moon and reaches the Earth. That's why it's really bright, compared to a normal night, on full moons.

Why does the milky way appear like a white stream than separate stars?

We are in the Milky Way Galaxy, therefore we see at clear nights interstellar dust illuminated by starlight. The dust is in a form of a spiral arm which we see only part of as a narrow band.

What is used to study the center of the Milky Way Galaxy?

It is a radiotelescope which works on radio waves instead of light waves.

What other Local Group galaxy is your Milky Way similar to?

The local group is a collection of galaxies. It is not a galaxy on it's own.

Why the thiele tube is shaped the way it is?

The thiele tube allows convection currents in the oil when it is heated meaning there is fairly uniform distribution of temperature.

Is there a way to make an ink that appears from the heat or moisture of a persons hand?

Lemon juice or even milk can be used as ink. When heated by an iron or light bulb, the ink will turn brown. It doesn't necessarily disappear when cooled off again. There are other chemical inks that will fade out with the cooling off, but I don't know their availability to the commercial market.

What are the ways to get on first?

What is a simple way to detect EMI?

You can get an EMI detection device that will be able to locate exactly where EMI is being given off such as TV's Computers, Microwaves. A much easier way would be to look around for any medium or larged sized eletronic devices, they are most likely giving off EMI.

What is the name of the known galaxy that is farthest away from the Milky Way?

as far as I know there is no farthest galaxy from earth. However There is (Of course) a farthest Visible galaxy. However I do not know the name of this galaxy. (I hope someone comes along and improves my answer to this question.)
