Is it true that were not alone in the solar system?

Think about it, the solar system isn't that big. But I think there are microbes and bacteriums on one of the planets.


Does the solar system have a name?

If you're asking WHY the solar system is called that, it is because the sun (solar) is the center object controlling the orbits of the individual planets. As to the meaning of life, or why it exists, well, let's just say God plays billards alot!


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 2 new planets in the solar system?

The Uranus was the newest planet of the Solar System. I think this was made in 90s but there are no newest planets in the Solar System. The Planets in the Solar System is: Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus (Newest) Neptune Pluto (Dwarf Planet/Planet) As you can see, there's no two "(Newest)" in the lists of planets but there is one but sorry, the list did not change.


Are there any new discovered and named planets our solar system?

There were two new planets discovered in our solar system. One is called pilosmith and I forgot the other one. However, they are smaller than Pluto so I don't think the astronomers officially count them as planets. Yea and the other ones name is Typhoon


Are there any known planets that have a gravational pull weaker than the dwaf planet Pluto?

I don't think so. No official "planet" in the Solar System has such a weak gravity; most of the so-called "extrasolar" planets (i.e., outside our Solar System) are quite a bit more massive than Earth, since such planets are easier to discover.Other dwarf planets in the Solar System may have a weaker gravity, if you want to count those.


What is all the planets orbit?

The question is vague, but I think you're referring to the solar system.

What is the debate about the number of planets in your solar system?

many people think there are 8 planets, 9 planets or 10 planets in our solar system. 8 planets is the well accepted fact by most scientist, this means pluto is not a planet, many however believe it is so they think there are 9 planets, and some believe there are 10 planets, a so called planet X that will come close enough to earth to disrupt the gravity field and cause solar rays to greatly affect us, but this has never been proven


How many palnets are in your solar system?

If you count Pluto, nine planets. Some people think Pluto is too small and too far to be part of the Solar System. Poor Pluto...
