The Sun is the largest object in our solar system, comprising about 99.8% of its total mass. By comparison, all the other objects in our solar system, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, make up only about 0.2% of the solar system's mass.
Our solar system consists of the sun, the planets, their moons, and a variety of smaller objects. The sun is at the center of the solar system, with other orbiting around it. The force of gravity holds the solar system together.
1) I am learning about the solar system in school. 2) I would love to see the solar system!. 3) Earth is a planet in the solar system. 4) The sun is the biggest star in the solar system.
No. None of the stars you see at night are in the solar system. They are lightyears beyond it.
No, space refers to the vast emptiness beyond Earth that contains stars, planets, and other celestial bodies. The solar system is a specific region of space that includes our sun, along with the planets and other objects that orbit it, such as Earth, Mars, and Jupiter.
The Sun's light, falling on other objects, allows people to see planets and other objects, which would be dark otherwise.
because we cant

Actually, there are 18 known planets in our solar system, as well as two known protoplanets. For a complete list of objects in the solar system, see the related links.
Through the nebula and small bodied objects; barely discernible, if at all.
The solar system was not authored by anyone. It is a natural system consisting of the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects orbiting the sun.
People commonly look through telescopes to see into space. Telescopes are used by NASA to see stars and planets very far away, and less sophisticated models are used to see planets in our solar system, or even the moon.
There are no constellations in our solar system. All constellations you see are outside our solar system.
Yes. In fact your eyes can see all the stars in our Solar System. The only star in our solar system is the Sun.
Telescopes are the primary equipment used to see faraway objects in the solar system. Ground-based telescopes on Earth and space-based telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope are commonly used. By analyzing the light received from these objects, astronomers can gather information such as composition, size, and distance.
Just about any good telescope can be used to see deep sky objects. Of course, the more power a telescope has, the better the viewing will be (compared to a smaller piece of equipment). Shallow sky objects are things like an eclipse, or something "close" to earth (within the solar system). Deep sky objects lie outside our solar system, so using a telescope with a fairly large objective is a perferred choice.
