The solar system consists of the Sun and objects that orbit it due to its gravitational pull, including planets, moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets. The Sun is at the center of the solar system, with eight major planets orbiting it directly and moons orbiting the planets indirectly. All objects in the solar system, including the eight planets, orbit in the same direction and plane as the Sun rotates, supporting the leading theory that the solar system formed from a collapsing gas and dust cloud.

2. The system consisting of Sun and other objects
(planets and moons, dwarf planets, asteroids
And comets etc) rotating around Sun because
Of it’s gravitational pull is called as
“Solar System”.

3. The Sun is the only star and it is at the center of
the Solar System.

4. The largest eight bodies which totate directly
around the Sun in their own personal orbit are
called as planets of the Sun.

5. The moons are those which rotate around a
planet and so indirectly rotate around the Sun.

6. The galaxy of which the Solar System is part of is
called “The Milky Way”.

7. All 8 planets tend to follow the same path in the
sky which means all planets orbit in same flat
plane.

8. Also all 8 planets orbit the Sun in the same
direction as rotation of Sun around itself which
is counterclockwise when viewed from above
the north pole.

9. These two phenomenon's supports the leading
theory for the Solar System’s formation, which
is that the planets, moons and Sun formed from
a large gas and dust cloud that condensed and
spun.

10. There are two moons in our Solar System which
are bigger than the smallest planet mercury.

11. The Solar System is believed to be formed 4.57
billion years ago.
