Which galaxy does the sun belong to?

These are the basics. Our sun is the star at the center of our solar system. A solar system is made up of a star and any other objects connected to it by its gravity. Our sun has the standard eight planets along with their moons, and also countless other objects including asteroids and comets. Our galaxy, The Milky Way, is estimated to contain between 200 billion and 400 billion stars. Some of those stars have planets orbiting them, and others do not. Our solar system then is just a very very tiny part of the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is one of billions of observable galaxies throughout space.


What is the oldest planet in the milky way?

Our solar system doesn't really travel 'through' the Milky Way, but it does travel around the galaxy's center. The Milky Way is turning, and we are turning along with it. Even over very long periods of time, our position relative to other stars in the galaxy remains about the same. But we are moving around, just the same.
