the milkyway galaxy is about a hundred thousand light years across. this means that if you could travel at the speed of light from one end of the galaxy to the other it would take you a hundred thousand years to do it. we live about two thirds of the way out from the center of the milkyway. our galaxy is an average size galaxy. there are over a hundred billion galaxies in the universe!!!!!! hope this helps!!!!!!

Since God created everything, He would be the one to ask. Man will never know the limits of space until they can see it for themselves when we reach Eternity. Shalom!

The word big is not enough because it is infinite unlimited.
One can not specify how big it is.
