Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The Milky Way is the Galaxy in which we live. It is a spiral slipped galaxy that contains several hundred billion stars, including our Sun. It is about 100.000 light-years across and about 10,000 light-years thick. If you are at a place which has a very' dark night sky, you can sometimes see the Milky Way as a thick band of stars in the sky.
