What were the first two space probes to leave your solar system?

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.
There is a matter of some debate as to whether the two Voyager probes have actually left the solar system, an where the "edge" of the solar system actually is. Both are beyond the orbit of Pluto, but have not passed beyond the vaguely-defined Kuiper Belt, and the two probes are just approaching the heliopause, the boundary layer between the solar wind and the broader currents of interstellar space.
But it seems likely that however that boundary is defined, the two Voyager probes either were or will be the first man-made objects to pass it.

What do you call the tiny part of our galaxy in our solar system?
"Our solar system." The "part of our galaxy" that's in our solar system is the solar system.
Howdose a man explore the solar system?
Well there are a few ways: 1. Using telescopes and other sensory devices from Earth, or Near Earth Orbit. 2. Sending robotic probes around the solar system to gather information. 3. Physically sending humans in a spacecraft. Of these, the third is the most expensive, which is why it hasn't been attempted beyond the moon. The other two are comparitively far cheaper and are readily used today to gather information about out solar system.
What date and country did voyager probe go out of the solar system?
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have both left the heliosphere, but neither has left the solar system. The edge of the solar system is considered to be the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, The exact width of the Oort Cloud is not known, but its estimated that it would take Voyager 2 about 300 years to reach the inner boundary of it. To reach the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, truly leaving the solar system, would take Voyager 2 something like 30,000 years.
How is Sirius star different from all the other objects in the solar system?
Sirius is not part of our Solar System, so it is not appropriate to talk about "other objects in the solar system".
What does the word solar refer to in the term solar system?
Solar is the planet that rotates
How is the solar system explored in 2015?
By robotic probes.
How can knowledge of the planets of the Solar System be obtained without space probes?
Without space probes, the only knowledge we have of the solar system comes from ground-based telescopes. That's how we did it for 300 years before satellites.
What were the first 2 us space probes?
The first probe was Pioneer 6 in 1965, it was a solar probe, and the mission was a success. The second probe was Pioneer 7 one year later. It was also a solar probe and it was also a success. After that we have launched more solar probes, and other probes out into space, almost all have been successful.
Why have you sent probes instead of astronauts to explore the distant areas of the solar system?
Simpler and cheaper.
Why have sent probes instead of astronauts to explore the distant areas of the solar system?
Simpler and cheaper.
Is mars still in the solar system?
Yes. It is never going to leave the solar system.
What is the technology used to observe the solar system?
Telescopes, Pictures,Satellites, and Probes
What are the voyager probes?
The two Voyager space probes are robotic spacecraft launched in 1977 as the first spacecraft to examine the outer planets. Both are still operating, having passed the orbits of the outer planets, and drifting toward the boundary of the solar system.
What kinds of astronomical bodies are found in the solar system?
In the solar system, we have a star, planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, meteors, and human debris. (such as old satellites, probes, etc.)
Was Pioneer 1 the first man made object to leave the solar system?
There has never been a man made object to leave the Solar System. There are however, two objects which may escape the influence of Sol and enter the interstellar medium. These objects are the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. It is currently unknown which will leave the system first, as although Voyager 1 was launched first, peculiarities of the nature of the Solar System may mean that Voyager 2 breaks the heliosphere first.
Which space probes were sent to Neptune?
The Voyager 2 went to Neptune on it's last stop in the solar system.
How do you know what the solar system looks like?
Satellite/s, space probes, telescopes and many other ways.
