Yes, a solar system is much smaller than a galaxy. A solar system consists of a star, planets, and other celestial bodies like asteroids and comets, while a galaxy is a massive collection of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity. Our solar system is just one of billions within the Milky Way galaxy.

I am going to assume that the intended question in place of the gibberish above is which is biggest among a solar system, a universe and a galaxy.

The planet is in the solar system, the solar system is in the galaxy, the galaxy is in the universe, and the universe is everything everywhere (from the Latin word unus meaning one).

A galaxy is much larger. It contains many millions of stars, which are all the central parts of systems like our own solar system.
