What else can I help you with?
What is a series of planets orbiting a star?
A series of planets orbiting a star is called a Solar System
What constitutes your solar system?
Anything with a star that has planets orbiting around it.
What is a group of planets and their moons that orbit a central star?
A group of planets moving around a star is called a solar system. Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Despite the difficulty of detection, many hundreds have been discovered recently, orbiting other stars.
How do you xxplain What is solar system?
Solar relates to the sun. The sun is a star. A solar system is a star that has planets and other celestial objects orbiting around it in an ordered manner.
Are planets outside the solar system?
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.
What are the different kinds of solar system?
"solar system" is the term used to describe planets orbiting a star. We know that planets also orbit binary and tertiary star systems, these would be different kinds of solar systems.
What is a star with its orbiting planets?
I call it a star system. Other people may call it a solar system, but I see this as inaccurate because the adjective "solar" is derived from "Sol," the name of our star.
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.
What is the sun and family of oribiting planets called?
The sun and its family of orbiting planets is known as the solar system. The sun is a yellow dwarf star located at the center of the solar system, with eight known planets orbiting around it: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Planets without solar systems are called?
Planets not orbiting a star but instead orbiting the galactic center are referred to as rogue planets, or nomadic or interstellar planets.
What is at the center of your Solar Systems?
The center of our Solar System is the Sun, a star that provides heat, light, and energy to the planets orbiting around it.
A group of planets revolving around a star is called?
A group of planets revolving around a star is called a solar system. Each planet orbits the star in the center of the system and together they form a celestial family held together by gravity. The most well-known solar system is our own, which consists of eight planets orbiting the Sun.
