  • Universe vs. Galaxy vs. Solar System vs. Star: A Size Comparison
    Here's how to break down the size comparison:

    * Universe: The largest of them all. It encompasses everything, including all galaxies, stars, and planets.

    * Galaxy: A vast collection of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is home to our solar system.

    * Solar System: A star (our Sun) and all the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that orbit it.

    * Star: A massive, luminous ball of plasma held together by its own gravity.

    In summary:

    * Universe > Galaxy > Solar System > Star

    The Universe is the largest entity we know of.
