Detailed explanation-1: -The Milky Way galaxy is described as a disk of stars orbiting a central point on the disk. Which of these best explains why people on Earth cannot see the entire shape of the Milky Way? The stars in the center of the galaxy are extremely small.

Detailed explanation-2: -To see the Milky Way at night, you need all three of the following: A clear sky-there should be no clouds. Minimal light pollution-too much extra light washes out the details in the night sky. No moon-the moon is brighter than you think and will reduce the visible intensity of the Milky Way.

Detailed explanation-3: -It’s called a spiral galaxy because if you could view it from the top or bottom, it would look like a spinning pinwheel. The Sun is located on one of the spiral arms, about 25, 000 light-years away from the center of the galaxy.
