  • Milky Way vs. Solar System: Size Comparison & Facts
    The Milky Way is much bigger than our solar system.

    Here's a comparison:

    * Solar System: Our solar system is essentially our sun and everything that orbits it (planets, moons, asteroids, etc.). It's about 1 light-year across.

    * Milky Way: The Milky Way is a giant spiral galaxy that contains billions of stars, including our own sun. It's about 100,000 light-years across.

    So, the Milky Way is about 100,000 times larger than our solar system!
