Original sentence: It is also simply known as the Galaxy, as the Earth's solar system is a part of it.The Milky Way (a translation of the Latin Via Lactea, in turn derived from the Greek Galaxia Kuklos) is the galaxy in which the Earth is found.The fact that the Milky Way divides the night sky into two roughly equal hemispheres reflects the fact that the solar system lies close to the galactic plane.This reflects the fact that the Earth's equatorial plane is highly inclined to the galactic plane, as is the ecliptic (the plane in which the Earth and the other significant planets orbit the sun).When viewed from the Earth and its environs, it appears in the night sky as a hazy band of white light across the celestial sphere, formed by stars within the disc of its namesake galaxy
Edited sentence: It appears as a hazy band of white light across the celestial sphere, formed by stars within the disc of its namesake galaxy.It is also simply known as the Galaxy, as our Solar System is a part of it.The Milky Way (a translation of the Latin Via Lactea, in turn derived from the Greek Galaxia Kuklos) is our native galaxy.The fact that the Milky Way divides our night sky into two roughly equal hemispheres reflects the fact that the solar system lies close to the galactic plane.This reflects the fact that the Earth's equatorial plane is highly inclined to the galactic plane, as is the ecliptic (the plane in which the Earth and the other significant planets orbit the Sun)
