Describe about Solar System & Its Members
The solar system is a system in which all the large objects, all the planets and stars, comets, meteors, etc, are bound together within the gravitationally bound system of the Sun, and because of that, all the main objects revolve in their orbit either directly or indirectly. There are eight main objects with which the sun is directly connected, and the other small bodies that move in our solar system. The dwarf planet, meteors, and comets. There are the natural satellites of each planet, as Earth has a moon, every other planet in the solar system has its natural satellite, and many are larger than the other main planets.
The solar system was formed 4.6 billion years ago, after the many gravitational collapses of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. Most of the mass of our solar system consists of the sun, and the remaining consists of one of the planets in our solar system, which is Jupiter. The smaller inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are Terrestrial planets. These are primarily composed of rocks and metals. The four outer planets, which are giant planets, are bigger than the terrestrial planets. The two largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, are made of gas, mainly composed of hydrogen and helium. The two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are composed of ice. They have a high melting point compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, Ammonia, and methane. All these eight planets revolve around the Sun in their orbit due to the gravitational Bond system created by the Sun. The solar system also contains smaller objects like the Asteroid belt that is present between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It mostly consists of small Terrestrial planets of rocks and metal. Beyond the napkins Orbit the Kuiper belt and scattered disc are present, which are populations of Neptunian composed mostly of ices.
