Question

Put the following into perspective: the size of our solar system; the distance to nearby stars; the size of the Milky Way Galaxy; the size of the observable universe. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Answer 1

Size of the observable universe > Size of Mily Way > Distance to nearby stars > size of our solar system

Step-by-step explanation:

The universe is extremely big, almost inimaginable. All the distances this problem ask us to rank from largest to smallest are different. The biggest one is the size of the observable universe. It contains all the galaxies, including ours. Then, we have the Milky Way. It contains all of our nearby stars including our own (the Sun). Later on, we have the distance of the nearby stars, which are a lot further than the size of our solar system.
