How small we are in the universe zoom out?

If you zoom from the biggest object, The Observable Universe

How small are we compared to the Milky Way?

Answer: Assuming a diameter for the Milky Way of about 15 kpc, which is about 4.6×10^(17) km, and a diameter for the Earth of about 12756 km, the ratio of the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy to that of the Earth is

about 3.6×10^(13)

.

What is the biggest thing in the universe?

The largest known ‘object' in the Universe is

the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall

. This is a ‘galactic filament', a vast cluster of galaxies bound together by gravity, and it's estimated to be about 10 billion light-years across!

What is outside the universe?

To answer the question of what's outside the universe, we first need to define exactly what we mean by “universe.” If you take it to mean literally all the things that could possibly exist in all of space and time, then

What is the smallest thing in the universe?


Quarks

are among the smallest particles in the universe, and they carry only fractional electric charges. Scientists have a good idea of how quarks make up hadrons, but the properties of individual quarks have been difficult to tease out because they can't be observed outside of their respective hadrons.
