What else can I help you with?
Where is Picses position in the solar system?
The Picses constellation is a group of stars far from our solar system, the closest of these stars being around 14 light years from us.
How many stars within 16 light years of your solar system?
49 including our sun.
Average distance between stars in the solar system?
The average distance between stars in the solar system is about 9.5 light-years. This distance can vary greatly depending on the specific stars being considered, as some stars may be closer or farther away.
Are alpha centauri and the milky way galaxy the same thing?
No. Alpha Centauri is the nearest star system to our own solar system at just over 4 light years away.. The Milky Way Galaxy is an enormous collection of stars about 100,000 light years across. It includes our solar system, Alpha Centauri, and about 200 billion other stars.
How long has the stars in your solar system existed?
500 years
Are the big and little dippers part of the earth's solar system?
No they are an optical illusion of combinations of stars within our galaxy.Some may be big and thousands of light years away.Some may be dim an only hundreds of light years away. If you viewed these same stars from another solar system of a nearby star the pattern would be different. The solar system is the earth, the sun, and the other planets orbiting around the sun. http://artlibrary.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/solar-system.jpg
Which is farther between the sun and the stars?
Stars are much farther away from the sun compared to the planets in our solar system. The closest star to the sun, Alpha Centauri, is about 4.37 light-years away, whereas the farthest planets in our solar system are within a few light-hours of the sun.
What are the differences between the solar system and the Milky Way Galaxy?
A galaxy - including the Milky Way - is a huge collection of solar systems. Each star is a solar system. A star may or may not have planets, but it is already known that many stars do have planets. A galaxy has hundreds of billions of stars, i.e., hundreds of billions of solar systems.Differences in scale: The nearest star (after the Sun) is Toliman, at a distance of 4.3 light-years - light takes 4.3 years to travel from Toliman to us. That is well outside the Solar System; the farthest objects known in our own Solar System are at a distance of a few light-hours. Our Milky Way, however, has a diameter in the order of 100,000 light-years. It takes light 100,000 years to go across the Milky Way - and there is some reason to believe that nothing can travel faster than light.
Is the Andromeda Galaxy part of the solar system?
The Andromeda Galaxy is a separate galaxy, about 120,000 light years across, containing trillions of stars - possibly many with planets. Our Solar System is a single star with 8 planets and at best measures 2 light years.
What is the size of milky way where is your solar system?
The milky way is about 100,000 light years in diameter, and the Solar System is 25,000 light years away from the galactic center.
What measure of distance is used within the solar system?
the solar system is measured in what are known as light years
What is the unit to measure the distance between our solar system and other stars?
Light years, are basically how far would does light travel, at roughly 186,000 miles a second, if it were to go for a year.
