Difference Between GALAXY and UNIVERSE

The differentiation between a galaxy and universe begins and ends with size only.
Our solar system is a part of our galaxy, which contains millions of stars like our sun.
There are billions of such galaxies in the universe.
It is impossible to conjecture about the size of the universe with current knowledge and tools
It would help to think of our Milky Way as just a speck in the Universe.
