What is Milky Way Galaxy ?

The Milky Way is the Galaxy that contains our solar system. The
descriptive “milky” is derived from the appearance from Earth
of the galaxy-a band of light seen in the night sky formed from
stars that cannot be individually distinguished by naked eye.
Local group Local Group
The Local Group is the galaxy group
that includes the Milky Way. The Local
Group comprises more than 54
galaxies, most of them dwarf galaxies.

Orion Nebula
The Orion Nebula is a diffuse
nebula situated in the Milky Way,
being south of Orion's Belt in the
constellation of Orion. It is one
of the brightest nebulae, and is
visible to the naked eye in the
night sky.
Large Magellanic Cloud
Sirius
Sirius is a star system
and the brightest star in
the Earth's night sky.
With a visual apparent
magnitude of −1.46, it is
almost twice as bright
as Canopus, the next
brightest star.
Pleiades
In astronomy, the Pleiades, or
Seven Sisters, is an open star
cluster containing middle-aged,
hot B-type stars located in the
constellation of Taurus
Laniakea Supercluster
The Laniakea Supercluster (Laniakea; also
called Local Supercluster or Local SCl or
sometimes Lenakaeia) is the galaxy
supercluster that is home to the Milky
Way and approximately 100,000 other
nearby galaxies.
 Black Hole

A supermassive black hole (SMBH)
is the largest type of black hole, on
the order of hundreds of
thousands to billions of solar
masses (M☉), and is found in the
centre of almost all currently
known massive galaxies.
Solar Systems In Milky Way
Nebula Comets

Our galaxy
is made of
clouds of dust
and gas called
nebula, stars,
comets,
meteors,
Asteroids

Meteors

asteroids, and
planets.
Nebula
A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen,
helium and other ionized gases. Originally, nebula

5
was a name for any diffuse astronomical object,
including galaxies beyond the Milky Way.
Comets
A comet is an icy body that releases gas
or dust. Comets contain dust, ice,
carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane
and more.
Meteors
A meteor is a bright streak of light in the sky (a "shooting star" or a "falling star") produced by the entry of a small meteoroid
into the Earth's atmosphere.
Stars
A star is a luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun.
Asteroids
Asteroids are minor planets,
especially those of the inner Solar
System. The larger ones have also
been called planetoids.
Solar System
The Solar System is the
gravitationally bound system
comprising the Sun and the objects
that orbit it, either directly or
indirectly.
Sun
The Sun is the star at the
center of the Solar System.
It is a nearly perfect sphere
of hot plasma, with internal
convective motion that
generates a magnetic field
via a dynamo process.
Mercury
Mercury is the smallest and innermost
planet in the Solar System. Its orbital
period around the Sun of 88 days is
the shortest of all the planets in the
Solar System.
Venus
Venus is the second planet from
the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7
Earth days. It has the longest
rotation period of any planet in
the Solar System and rotates in
the opposite direction to most
other planets. It has no natural
satellites.
Earth
Earth, otherwise known as
the World or the Globe, is
the third planet from the
Sun and the only object in
the Universe known to
harbor life. It is the densest
planet in the Solar System
and the largest of the four
terrestrial planets.
Mars
Mars is the fourth planet
from the Sun and the
second-smallest planet in
the Solar System, after
Mercury.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet
from the Sun and the largest
in the Solar System. It is a
giant planet with a mass
one-thousandth that of the
Sun, but two and a half
times that of all the other
planets in the Solar System
combined.
Saturn
Saturn is the sixth planet
from the Sun and the
second-largest in the Solar
System, after Jupiter. It is a
gas giant with an average
radius about nine times
that of Earth.
Uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet
from the Sun. It has the third-
largest planetary radius and
fourth-largest planetary mass
in the Solar System.
Neptune
Neptune is the eighth and
farthest known planet
from the Sun in the Solar
System. In the Solar
System, it is the fourth-
largest planet by diameter,
the third-most-massive
planet, and the densest
giant planet.
Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet in the
Kuiper belt, a ring of bodies
beyond Neptune. It was the
first Kuiper belt object to be
discovered. Pluto was
discovered by Clyde
Tombaugh in 1930 and was
originally considered to be
the ninth planet from the
Sun.
