The Milky Way is our home galaxy.

Task: Read the text and answer the 4 questions in one word and give a full answer for the 5th question.

We are a small planet in a solar system, which is part of a spiral shaped galaxy named the Milky Way.

A galaxy is a collection of solar systems, which include planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that circle around a star. There are billions of galaxies within Space. Each galaxy can have billions of stars. The Milky Way is just one in billions!

The Milky Way is our home galaxy. It can be seen in the sky if the night is dark enough, a cloudy white stripe of stars too far to be seen individually with the naked eye. Our Solar System is only a small piece of the enormous galaxy in which we live

Galaxies are held together with gravity that pulls on each sun, star, planet, moon, etc.
