The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Position of the Sun**: The Sun is a star located in the Milky Way galaxy. It is important to clarify that it is not at the center of the Milky Way. 2. **Distance from the Center**: The Sun is approximately 25,000 light years away from the center of the Milky Way galaxy. This distance is crucial for understanding its position within the galaxy. 3. **Location in the Galaxy**: The Sun is situated in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy. Specifically, it is located in a region known as the Orion Arm, which is a minor spiral arm located between two major arms of the Milky Way. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct statement regarding the position of the Sun is that it lies in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way and is approximately 25,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is both B and C: the Sun lies in one of the spiral arms from the center of the Milky Way and at a distance of 25,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
