Name two objects in the solar system besides moons and planets?
Asteroids and comets are two examples of objects in the solar system besides moons and planets. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are icy bodies that also orbit the Sun, with tails that form when they come close to the Sun.
Two natural satellites of the sun?
There are millions of them, ranging from the main eight planets, several further dwarf planets, comets, asteroids, kuiper belt objects and meteoroids. All in orbit around our sun.
Your solar system is found between the planets?
The solar system is found between the orbits of two planets, with the innermost known planet being Mercury and the outermost known planet being Neptune. The solar system also consists of other celestial bodies such as dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
What other two bodies move around the sun?
eight planets move around the sun, and so do asteroids. comets dont always move around the sun, sometimes they just come straight in and are never seen after going past earth around venus and mercury. sometims they do orbit the sun.
How many planets make up the solar system?
There are currently eighteen known planets and two protoplanets in our solar system. We are always discovering more, so this may change. This is also widely debated, because different scientists think differently about how "planet" should be classified. It is common for scientists to only acknowledge eight planets in our system, and it is true that there are eight main planets. However, there are also ten dwarf planets, which are a form of small rocky planet. For a list of objects that make up the solar system, see the related links.

Where are Comets usually found?
Comets can be formed anywhere in space. They are mainly composed of ice and dust, which can be acquired from anywhere in space i.e pieces of chipped planets or random space particle. Hope this was helpful x]

What planets are referred to as inner planets?
The solar system can be divided in two parts, by the asteroid belt. The planets that are closer to the sun than the asteroid belt are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These are the inner planets. The planets more distant from the sun than the asteroid belt are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Those are the outer planets. And even farther out are the dwarf planets and comets.
What are two questions scientists hope to answer from this probe?
some of the questions scientists have about Mercury come from the limited knowledge we already have

Do Comets orbit Earth the way the moon orbits Earth?
no, comets do not orbit Earth. If comets did orbit Earth, it would be Earths Moon's, but comets orbit the kuiper belt at the edge of the Solar System. Some times comets hit each other and get knocked out of their orbit and possibly hit a planet.
What are two regions of the solar system?
Two regions of the solar system are the inner solar system, which includes the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) and the asteroid belt, and the outer solar system, which includes the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), as well as dwarf planets and various other celestial objects like comets and asteroids.
Where do comets form?
Comets have two main sources, the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt
What Does the solor system inclued?
the solar system consists of: planets, asteroids, comets and the sun. there are the planets which are named; mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, neptune and pluto. then between mars and jupier there is an asteriod belt which are tons of rocks surrounding the sun between them two planets some are very small and some are huge. the there are the comets which orbit the sun until they burn out or crash into something. as far as anything else goes i dont know but they are the main things :)
What parts of the world do scientists come from today?
More specifically, the United States has 616 scientists representing 61.6% of all leading scientists. Eight out of ten scientists in the top 1% come from the United States, the other two are from Canada.
