The Andromeda galaxy is larger than the Milky Way galaxy. It is about 220,000 light-years in diameter, compared to the Milky Way's estimated 100,000-120,000 light-years.
The Milky Way galaxy itself contains approximately 100 to 400 billion stars. There is an estimated 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
No, the Sun is not the only star in the Milky Way galaxy. There are estimated to be over 200 billion stars in our galaxy, of varying sizes and ages. The Sun is just one of the many stars that make up the Milky Way.
A typical galaxy may have anywhere between a few million (106) stars, and over a trillion (1012) stars. Our own Milky Way is estimated to have between 200 and 400 billion (2x1011-4x1011) stars.

No. The Milky Way is estimated to be nearly as old as the Universe itself.
The Andromeda galaxy is larger than the Milky Way galaxy. It is about 220,000 light-years in diameter, compared to the Milky Way's estimated 100,000-120,000 light-years.
If the sun were the size of a grapefruit, the Milky Way galaxy would be roughly the size of the United States. This vast galaxy is estimated to be about 100,000 light-years in diameter, containing billions of stars, planets, and other celestial objects.
Yes. There have been hundreds of planets discovered in other stars in the Milky Way. It has been estimated that the Milky Way likely contains hundreds of billions of planets.
The Milky Way galaxy itself contains approximately 100 to 400 billion stars. There is an estimated 100 to 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
Scientist say there MIGHT be billions of solar systems in the Milky Way but I believe we are the only one!
No, the solar system is not in the Milky Way. The Milky Way is a galaxy, and is home to an estimated 200 to 400 billion stars, and just one of them (our sun) is the center of our solar system.
The Milky Way contains an estimated 100 billion to 400 billion stars and a similar number of planets as well as a variety of gas clouds.
The apparent magnitude of an object is a measure of it's brightness as seen from Earth.As we are located within the Milky Way, this value is impossible to obtain.The Milky Way has a estimated absolute magnitude of -20.9
Yes. The Milky Way is one galaxy of an estimated 200 billion in the known universe.
Estimated at about 2.5 million light-years.
