Why have artificial space probes not explored outside the solar system?

In fact, they are. A space probe, "New Horizons", is already underway to Pluto. I don't remember the name of the mission to the Sun, but there is one, either traveling or being planned. Being as hot as it is, it won't exactly go into the Sun, but much closer than the 150M km. that Earth is from the Sun.

In fact, there are several space probes orbiting the Sun now. A couple of them are in polar orbits around the Sun, giving us a view of the Sun that we could never see from Earth, and a couple of them are 6o degrees away from the Earth in our orbit so that we can see "around" the Sun to see if there are any major flares or sunspots that are out of the view of Earth-based telescopes.
Of course, we can't send probes TO the Sun, because the probes would be destroyed - but we don't have to be really close to get a good view!

∙ 12y agoIf you assume space probes have not reached outside the solar system then it is because the distance is so great they have not had time to exit the solar system.
Though authorities don't agree, some say Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have exited our solar system. But once beyond the edge, there's nothing to explore until they get near another star/sun, which will be a very long time.

How many natural and artificial satellites does Venus have?
Venus has no natural satellites. It does have two artificial satellites (space probes). Venus is one of the two planets in our solar system (together with Mercury) that have no moon/natural satellite.
How has man explored the solar system?
We have not, in any meaningful way, explored the solar system yet; this is just beginning. So far, men have visited the near side of the Moon six times. We've never been to the farside. Men have never gone beyond the Moon. We have launched a few dozen robotic probes across the solar system, primarily to take pictures. We have landed 3 roving probes on Mars at widely separated points, and landed a few stationary probes there. We have landed one probe on Venus and one on Titan; in each case, the probe lasted about an hour before failing. Nothing on Ganymede or Europa or Callisto.
Have you ever heard of the planet Saturn?
Nobody has ever visited it. Unmanned probes have been sent to it and explored it.
A good example of an artificial system of classification is?
a family tree
Do the voyager probes have any visible sun light?
While many space probes near the Sun (or not too far away, like satellites near the Earth) are solar powered, the designers of the Voyager probes knew that the spacecraft would be going out from the solar system to distances where the Sun is merely a bright star. So the Voyager probes use a nuclear thermal power source.
How is the solar system explored in 2015?
By robotic probes.
How many natural and artificial satellites does Venus have?
Venus has no natural satellites. It does have two artificial satellites (space probes). Venus is one of the two planets in our solar system (together with Mercury) that have no moon/natural satellite.
Which active galaxies are effective intergalactic space probes?
There is no active galaxy that is effective in the intergalactic space probes. No space probe has ever traveled as far as the next nearest star outside of our solar system.
Why are space probes used to explore the solar system?
unmanned spacecraft (probes) have explored the surface of the moon and mars to measure temperature, gravitational force , radiation, magnetic fields and atmosphereremote vehicles have driven over the surface of mars. these robots take photographs, and analyse rocks and the atmosphereunmanned probes can go where conditions are deadly for humanshope it helped
How much of space isn't explored?
99.99 percent ! Although we have sent unmanned probes beyond the reaches of our own solar system, we are just a tiny speck in the vast expanse of the universe !

What objects in the solar system?
The solar system contains the Sun, the planets and their moons, rings, asteroid belts, comets, artificial objects like probes and satelites, gas, dust, exotic items like dark matter (and energy), particles and radiation from the Sun, and a lot of empty space.
How does man explore the solar system?
who explored the solar system
what Scientists have explored only a small portion of space. What evidence is there that gravity exists outside of what they have explored?
Gravity is the force that holds our Solar System together. It allows planets and moons to keep their elliptical orbits around the Sun. Even though humans have explored only a small portion of space, we know that our Solar System orbits the center of the much larger Milky Way galaxy. Without gravity, our Solar System would not be able to maintain this orbit.
When a system of classification is based on observation of a predetermined set of factors it is called a natural system an artificial system an objective system a subjective system?
an artificial system
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.
