The Milky Way is the galaxy which is the home of our Solar System together with at least 200 billion other stars (more recent estimates have given numbers around 400 billion) and their planets, and thousands of clusters and nebulae, including at least almost all objects of Messier's catalog which are not galaxies on their own (one might consider two globular clusters as possible exceptions, as probably they are just being, or have recently been, incorporated or imported into our Galaxy from dwarf galaxies which are currently in close encounters with the Milky Way: M54 from SagDEG, and possibly M79 from the Canis Major Dwarf). See our Messier Objects in the Milky Way page, where details are given for each object to which part of our Galaxy it is related. All the objects in the Milky Way Galaxy orbit their common center of mass, called the Galactic Center

The Milky Way Galaxy consists of several spiral arms densely populated with stars and interplanetary dust. The overall star density increases as you move towards the centre of the galaxy. The very centre of the Milky Way Galaxy likely contains a cluster of denser matter (neutron stars and black holes), or one single, quickly rotating (due to conservation of angular momentum) supermassive black hole or quasar-like object.

The Milky Way is our galaxy, which houses many other solar systems, stars and planets.

about 140 billion sun-like stars
483 planets inside dust disks around dozens of stars in the giant Orion Nebula

it is belived that 70% of it is dark mass which can't be seen because it does not absorb or give light.
of course, there are some planets, stars, galaxy clouds, and many otger things
but as i said, it mostly contains "dark mass"
