If you put a quarter on the ground and placed 300,000,000,000 more quarters around it at 300 feet apart -- this 1 quarter would be our star system and the other 300,000,000,000 would represent the other star systems and their planets. Spread out all over North America - that quarter would represent our planets entire solar system and North America would represent our entire Milky Way Galaxy.

Beyond our Milky Way Galaxy there are approximately 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) more Galaxies like ours.
