The solar system is believed to be made of from components of supernovae explosions because of the presence of chemical elements with an atomic numbers higher than 26 (iron). Since iron has the highest binding energy per nucleon, most stars simply can't produce heavier elements in their core - the fusion process won't get more energy out of it than went into making it. Once a star begins to make iron it is doomed and its life ends very quickly. However, the immense energies in a supernova are believed to be adequate for the creation of heavier elements, which, after the explosion may later coalesce and reform into new stars and planets - hence, we are in a literal sense made from stellar material.
Our sun is likely to be at least "second generation" of recycled elements - and possibly older.

Which solar system has 62 moons?
There is only one Solar System; it is the star system with the star named Sol (our solar system). It is technically incorrect to refer to any other star system as 'a solar system.' Our star system is is also the only star system we know intimately enough (in fine enough detail) to know to have moons. It is not currently possible for us to detect moons orbiting extrasolar planets (planets orbiting other stars). There are 336 objects classified as moons in the Solar System.
How big do planets have to be to be in the solar system?
Well there's no size, how big must be because planets in solar system are different sizes and size is not important. Don't ask questions like this if you don't know what the solar system is!

I would like to know would be why do we have a solar system and i would also like to know would be how did are solar system make?
well r solar system is not a man made structure its just not its not created by clouds or anything its created by god and we have a solar system cuz well we just do.

Why do the Dogon tribe know so much about your solar system?
It is not clear that the Dogon possess any detailed knowledge of the solar system.
Why is earth is a unique planet in our solar system?
Up to now, Earth is the only planet in our solar system that can sustain life as we know it.
What can solar fuel do?
I am not that sure on what it can do but i do know that solar fuel comes from the solar system akasun!!! But you can get a solar light for a garden and a solar calculator .Which their energy comes from the sun!!!
How far is the closest star to earth?
The closest supernova, or more correctly supernova remnant, is the Vela supernova remnant [See Link] in the constellation Vela. The "guest" star exploded about 11 - 12,000 years ago and is located around 800 light years from Earth.
