Reply to comment by Oknight in How do we know that we are in a certain place inside our galaxy? and how do we know how big it is just by looking at the cross section we are in? by friday_panda
You mention one of the issues. This one is among the rather fluid definitions like; ''How big is a planet ''and ''How small is a moon''.
Size is a relative as big and small. The moon is smaller than the sun and bigger than a tomato. In galactic perspective that's already pretty close.
