The Milky Way is the name of the galaxy that contains our planet Earth, the sun, and our solar system. A galaxy is a huge collection of stars and other objects in space. Our sun is just one of the stars of our galaxy.
The Milky Way can sometimes be seen at night as a long, glowing cloud which is actually made up of billions of stars. It looks like the Milky Way is something far away from us in the sky, but we actually are a part of it. |
