Because that is where you get milky rocks
Yes. It is not like the Earth owns the Milky Way but some of us Earthlings call the galaxy in which the solar system resides (with the Earth) for The Milky Way [Swedes call it "Vintergatan" (the Winter Road)]
Milky way
The Milky Way Galaxy contains interstellar matter that may form new stars.
Planet earth is not in any of the approximately 150 globular clusters which are known to exist in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Our solar system is on one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way.
The sun orbits the center of the Milky Way.
About 220 km/sec.
Yes it really does! It rotates around the Milky Way Galaxy.
If you mean "rotate", yes, it rotates. If it didn't rotate, it would soon collapse due to its own gravity. Our Solar System takes about 240 million years for one revolution around the Milky Way - at a speed of 220 kilometers/second.
The rotation of the Milky Way is the result of the gravitational pull of a giant (supermassive) black hole at its center. Use the links below for more information.
The Milky Way doesn't really rotate around anything. Our home galaxy and nearby Andromeda are pretty much at the center of what is called a local group of gravitationally bound galaxies. As such, it is unsupportable to say that the Milky Way rotates around anything else.
The stars in the spiral arms gradually rotate around the galactic nucleus

There no milky way in sky there is only milky way galaxy
The Sun orbits the center of gravity of the Milky Way Galaxy as a whole, if that's what you mean.
The Milky Way galaxy is.... called the Milky Way Galaxy
The galaxy that contains Earth and the rest of the Solar system is the Milky Way galaxy.
