The Solar System, also known as the Sol System,[1][2] is a system of eight planets that orbit the sun, located in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Appearance
The solar system is made up of a bright central star that emits light and heat, surrounded by celestial bodies that vary in size, color and composition. Near thecenter are small, dense, rocky worlds, some with thin atmospheres and extreme temperatures. Further away are giants composed of gas or ice, surrounded by bright rings and systems of moons. Small bodies like asteroids and comets are scattered in distant belts and clouds, while the whole is enveloped in a vast darkness punctuated by distant stars.
