A solar system comprises a star (or combination of gravity bound stars) and their orbiting planets.
We think the majority of stars are solar systems an we have detected planets orbiting stars other than the Sun.
However in the process of forming a solar system we believe that planets my be permanently ejected from orbiting their stars and flung off into interstellar space. These planets would therefore indeed be outside any solar system.
Extra solar planets are planets that is outside of our solar system.
There are more than 300 planets currently known to be outside our solar system.
Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.Yes, hundreds of "extrasolar" planets, i.e., planets outside our own Solar System, have already been discovered.
Well, there are planets outside of the solar system, and there is one that is livable, but I don't know what it is called.
None. By definition , our "solar system" is everything controlled by the gravity of our sun. The planets, their satellites, asteroids, dwarf planets, comets, interplanetary dust, and man-made satellites are "within" our solar system. Any "planet" outside out solar system is just that - OUTSIDE of it.
The outer Solar System is the part outside the orbit of Mars. This region of the Solar System is home to four planets and numerous dwarf planets. The planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Yes, there are over 200 more planets outside the solar system, these planets are called extrasolar planets. There are also more then 170 solar systems inside of the Milky Way, on average astronomers find around 25 new planets a year.
yes but they are outside our solar system in our Solar system are only 8 the others are dwarf planets Edit: May 8th 2013 There are 11 in our close range solar system but millions outside our univerese or solar system. Remember space is infinite.
There are thousands and thousands of other planets outside of our solar system, along with many other galaxies, universes, and planetoids, and possibly other forms of life.
The only planet on our solar system that resides withinthe Goldilocks zone is Earth.The planets that reside outside the Goldilocks zone are:MercuryVenusMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
Yes, we have discovered several.
An extrasolar planet, or exoplanet.
