What is the technology used to observe the solar system?
Telescopes, Pictures,Satellites, and Probes
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.
What science junk travel in the solar system?
There is much space debris. Humans have many decayed satellites and probes floating around.
Is the solar system test for Science Olympiad hard?
depends on how much knowledge you have on solar system! Study hard!!! it also depend on what division your in.
How do you scientists explore the moon and planets in the solar system?
Telescopes, Space missions, probes all help scientists discover more about the moon.
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.
How is the solar system explored in 2015?
By robotic probes.
Why have you sent probes instead of astronauts to explore the distant areas of the solar system?
Simpler and cheaper.

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 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.)
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.
Which is the man made spacecraft far off Earth?
There have been a series of robotic probes to every planet in the solar system, and the two Voyager probes are approaching (or perhaps have just passed, we're not yet sure) the "edge" of our solar system. But no human has ever been further away than the Moon.

What objects in our solar system?
The Sun, moons , planets, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, dust, gases are all in our solar system. There are also man made objects floating around such as satellites and space probes.
