    The document discusses the scale of the universe from the perspective of our solar system, galaxy, and beyond. It begins by defining units of measurement like light years and astronomical units. It then provides information about objects in our solar system like planets, stars, and orbital speeds. Next, it discusses our location in the Milky Way galaxy, describing it as a barred spiral galaxy containing up to 400 billion stars. Finally, it notes that our galaxy is just one of hundreds of billions in the observable universe, which is estimated to be over 90 billion light years in diameter.
