The universe is infinite. So small.

If our solar system was a period on a printed page, our galaxy would be the size of the continental United States. And that's just one galaxy among billions in the universe, which are separated by millions and even billions of light years.
So, in other words, our solar system is almost infinitely small when compared to the size of the known universe.

Very, very small.
Our Solar System is centered on only one Star, the Sun.
The Sun is one of more than 200 Billion other stars within the Milky Way Galaxy.
Beyond the Milky Way Galaxy there are thousands and thousands of other galaxies and "each one of them" may contain many billions of additional stars.
So our Solar System is very, very small in comparison with the Universe.

It is beyond your imagination, even a single grain of sand compared to the entire solar system is not a good example.

The ratio of the total volume of the Universe to the volume of the solar system is= Radius cube of universe/radius cube of solar sytem.
Radius of Universe is 1.42 X10^26 meters =9.46x10 ^14 AU.(as per Hubble's constant calculation)
Radius from the Sun to pluto =aprox radius of solar system
is aprox 39 Au.
Therefore the ratio =[(9.46x10^14)/39]^3=1.42 x10^40 solar system volumes,aproximatly.

well, the universe never ends, so the solar system is infinitely small.

very very very very small..
our solar system is one of billions of solar systems in our galaxy and there are billions of other galaxies in the known universe
