What is a Solar System?

The solar system is centered on the sun and an assembly of all celestial bodies that are constrained by the sun's gravity. Includes eight planets (in order from near to far from the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), and at least 173 known satellites, 5 identified dwarf planets, including Four Kuiper Belt objects, and hundreds of millions of small solar system objects, and comets.

Dwarf planets only need to meet two conditions. From the first discovery of 1930 to 2006, Pluto was considered the ninth planet in the solar system. However, in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, many objects of similar size to Pluto were discovered in the solar system, especially Pluto was more clearly pointed out to be larger than Pluto.
Larger satellites in the solar system (more than 3,000 kilometers) include Earth's moons, Jupiter's

For thousands of years, up to the 17th century, human beings did not believe in the existence of the solar system with a few exceptions. The earth is not only considered to be fixed in the center of the universe, but also absolutely different from the objects or oracles that traverse in the void sky. when
Although scholars agreed that there are other celestial systems similar to the solar system, other planetary systems were not discovered until 1992. Hundreds of planetary systems have been discovered so far, but detailed materials are still scarce. The discovery of these planetary systems depends on
