What can you find in space?

In space, you can find various celestial objects such as stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and nebulae. Space also contains dark matter, which is mysterious because it does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. Additionally, space exploration has discovered black holes, pulsars, quasars, and other intriguing phenomena.


What are the planets that live in space?

Planets do not live. They are inorganic material. The planets that exist in our solar system from closest to the sun to the furthest are... Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Beyond Neptune there are many planetoids including Pluto (which used to be considered a planet) We have discovered many other planets orbiting other stars, but I don't know all the names that have been given to them.


What do you call the space between planets?
