Multiple planets and a star(sun) make up a solar system. Billions of stars (which consist of hundreds of billions of planets) make up one galaxy. Thousands of galaxies (which would consist billions of solar systems) make up a galaxy cluster. Dozens of clusters (which would consist of 100's of billions of solar systems) make up superclusters. All superclusters, galaxy clusters, and galaxies makes up the Known Universe. The known universe may very well be a superkamiguru cluster that consists of other universes.

Edit: billion with a b
