The name of our galaxy is MILKEY WAY
2.
The Milky Way gets its name from its appearance as a milky band of light in the night sky, derived from ancient Greek and Roman terminology.
Origin of the Name
The term "Milky Way" comes from the Latin phrase "Via Lactea," which translates to "the road of milk." This name reflects the galaxy's hazy, milky appearance as seen from Earth, where it appears as a bright band of light formed by countless stars that are too distant to be individually distinguished by the naked eye
