How many stars have been observed in our solar system?
There is only one, the Sun. All other stars are outside the solar system. The Sun is a very ordinary star that just happens to be very close. Many of the stars we see in the sky are bigger and brighter than the Sun, only a lot further away.
What are groups of solar systems called?
The Solar System is the name of our particular planetary system around our star; Sol. Many stars have been observed to have similar planetary systems and it can be assumed this is a common event in the Universe. Often neighbouring stars will form small groups called clusters, but the Universe is populated by huge groups of stars called galaxies which contain anything from a few million to trillions of stars.
How long have stars been around for?
Ever since the world and the solar system were created.
How many planet is struenis a way from the sun?
There is no object in our Solar System that has been discovered, observed, and given the name 'Struenis'.
Is our solar system also our galaxy or is there more than one solar system in the milky way?
No, our Solar System is not the galaxy. Our Solar System is the Sun, and the planets around it (plus a few other objects, such as asteroids and comets). Our Sun (the center of our Solar System) is a star; in the galaxy there are several hundred billion stars, each of which might be called a solar system. At least if it is confirmed that it has planets - but it has already been confirmed that many stars in our neighborhood have planets.
Planets moving around stars have been directly observed outside the solar system?
Yes, exoplanets have been observed directly through techniques such as imaging and spectroscopy. Direct imaging involves capturing light from the exoplanet itself, while spectroscopy helps determine the planet's composition by analyzing its atmosphere.
Can you see other planets outside our solar system. Or are they all just stars. How about if you use a telescope?
You cannot see planets outside our solar system with the naked eye. And, only a rare few can be seen with the most powerful telescopes. Most are detected by way of indirect measurements -- by observing their effect on their suns (stars).
Where Astronomers expect to find planetary system?
Anywhere there are stars. Hundreds of planets have already been discovered outside our own Solar System.
What planets are there not just in your solar system?
Planets found outside our own solar system are called exo-solar planets or exoplanets. These are in orbit around other stars. It's ver difficult to detect them due to the distances involved, but with modern techniques, over 500 have been confirmed.
Is the solar system the only system in out galaxy?
No, it's thought that most of the 200 billion or so stars in our galaxy are solar systems themselves, with planets in orbit around them. These are know as exosolar planets, many have been identified through their gravitational effects on the stars.
Is there other solar systems around the stars?
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.
What planet is farthest away from our solar system?
Scientists have discovered at least 1000 exoplanets - planets that orbit other stars. So far, our telescopes aren't good enough to detect planets around distant stars, but the many planets discovered so far indicate that planets are probably circling a substantial percentage of the trillion-plus stars in our galaxy.
