The Solar system
The Solar system : Our local neighborhood in Space is called the Solar system. At it's heart is the sun, an ordinary star that is so close it floods our planet with light. Trapped in its orbit by gravity are Earth and seven other planets, their moons, and millions of comets and asteriods. Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity — the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, dwarf planets such as Pluto, dozens of moons and millions of asteroids, comets and meteoroids. Beyond our own solar system, we have discovered thousands of planetary systems orbiting other stars in the Milky Way.
