The galaxy that contains our solar system is known as milky way galaxy. It is transcribed from the Latin word "Via lactea" which means "Road of milk" and this Latin word is derived from the Greek word " Kiklios galaxios" which means "Milky circle". They recommended it as "milky" because if see our galaxy at night, it appears like a band of milky light that rings the earth. It is an area that is filled with many bright stars and looks like spilled milk.
