  • The words 'solar system' refer to the Sun and all of the objects that travel around it.
  • Our solar system is made up of a star - the Sun - eight planets, 162 moons, dwarf planets and a bunch of comets, asteroids and other space rocks.
  • The eight planets that make up our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
  • Our solar system is part of a galaxy known as the Milky Way.
  • The study of objects in the night sky (stars, galaxies and other things) is called astronomy.

The solar system is a complex and fascinating system that consists of the Sun, eight planets, numerous moons, and other celestial objects. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and continues to provide valuable insights into the dynamics of planetary formation and evolution. Our understanding of the solar system is constantly evolving as new discoveries are made through space missions and astronomical observations.

there are 8 planets

Jupiter is the largest planet

the planets orbit the sun

there is a planet in the solar system called Pluto which is so tiny it

is considered a dwarf planet therefore not a planet

Saturns rings are made of rocks, ice and minerals

I am not sure your question is completely clear. However, if you mean to ask, what is the ultimate faith of the solar system, this would be my reply:

The sun will go through its phases and expand to a red gas giant which will burn up the inner planets. The outer planets will remain in orbit around the sun, which will eventually become a white dwarf. however, as the temperatures will be much cooler when the sun no longer actively radiates energy, the solar system will be very dark and cold.

Eventually, the milkyway galaxy will collide with another large galaxy which could throw the solar system out of our galaxy. This will not happen until the sun has become a white dwarf (neutron star), however.

žThe sun is the centre of our solar system.

žThe mass of the Sun alone is one thousand times the mass of all the things in the solar system.

žWithout the gravitational pull of the sun all of the planets would move off into space.

žIf viewed from the north pole, the planets move in an anticlockwise direction around the Sun.

žOur solar system doesn't have a name we just call it the solar system.

žThere are 8 planets in our solar system and 3 dwarf planets the planets names are mercury, venues, earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune the names of the dwarf planets are Pluto Eris and Xena.

Conclusion of Solar System:

Our Solar System is hardly a microbe compared with the Universe. The Universe contains billions of stars and planets, yet we hardly know of life out there. But to think there isn't any life out there is highly unlikely and quite ridiculous. The reason why many think were alone is simply because the distance it takes to get to somewhere with a possibility of life.

Although we don't have to go far (Universally) to find a chance of life apart from us. Some of the moon's around Saturn contain frozen seas of water which, underneath, might contain life!

Comments: I'm not sure what this question means exactly.

Perhaps it's about the fate of the solar system.

In that case, a lot depends on the future of our Sun.

The Sun is expected to become a red giant star in the far future.

That would "swallow up" some of the inner planets and have a big effect on the rest.

Eventually after the red giant stage the Sun would become a white dwarf star.

At present, the detailed effects on planets and other bodies orbiting the Sun cannot be calculated. There will probably a lot of collisions and some bodies will escape from the Sun's gravity.

The white dwarf star should have a planetary system of some sort, but very different from the present solar system.

Our solar system is heliocentric. We are centered around our sun. We have eight planets and one of them can support life.
