What do you think lies beyond the heliopause?
There is probably be nothing more than comets, dust, and dark matter until you reach another solar system.
What marks the outer boundary of our solar system?
the ort cloud of comets
True or false there are more than a billion stars in your solar system?
well, there is only one star in OUR solar system, we call it the sun; but there are about 100 BILLION stars in the milky way galaxy, of which our solar system is a part of
Is the sun the center of your solar system true or false?
TRUE!!!! All the planets in the Solar system including Earth orbit the Sun, in ellipses. The Sun lies at one of the foci of these ellipses, NOT the centre. So the Sun is NOT at the 'dead' centre of the Solar system.
Are any of the NASA probes launched for flybys of the planets still sending signals back to earth?
Yes, many of them are. In fact, both of the Voyager probes are still transmitting data, even from beyond Neptune and past the "heliopause", the boundary between the solar system and interstallar space.
Which satellite went out of your solar system?
The two Voyager satellites have left the solar system and passed the "heliopause", the boundary layer between the solar system and deep space.

What is the outer edge of a celestial body called?
The solar system isn't like a sidewalk, where the curb marks a distinct edge. There are a number of plausible candidates for the "edge" of the solar system.One would be the orbit of the outermost planet, Neptune. Or should Pluto be included? Or perhaps one of the other minor planets even further out, such as Eris or Makemake?Maybe the Kuiper Belt marks the "edge" of the solar system. You might suggest the Oort Cloud, the source of many long-period comets, as the "edge".Many scientists believe that the true edge of the solar system is the point at which the solar wind from the Sun fades into the general background of interstellar gas; this is called the "heliopause".

What would it take to travel out of our solar system?
The answer depends on the speed at where you define the limit of the solar system. The furthest planet, Neptune, has an orbit whose semi-major axis of approx 30.1 astronomical units (AU). The Kuiper belt, a ring of debris which are mostly lumps of ice, is at a distance of approx 50 AU. The heliopause, which is here the solar wind is stopped by the interstellar medium is at a distance of 128 AU. Voyager 1, for example, took 35 years to reach the heliopause.
Does the heliopause mark the end of the suns gravitational grasp?
I believe the heliopause is the outer edge of the heliosphere and does mark the end of the sun's gravitational effect. However, scientists think the solar winds of the sun may continue beyond the heliosphere.
Which new planet in your solar system has half of his orbit inside your solar system half orbit is outside your solar system?
The question says that there is an object that's in the solar system that's outside the solar system for half the time. That's a lot like the statement that states: "This statement is false."
True or false there are more than a billion stars in your solar system?

What is under the solar system?
The solar system for the most part is just floating in the universe, in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way is under Earth,(sort of) and the universe is under the Milky Way.
Are black holes bigger than the whole solar system?
If you mean the event horizon, it is very possible but none have been discovered. The largest black hole's (At 40 billion solar masses (1 = Sun mass)) event horizon is about 789 au which if it were the Sun, would reach beyond the mean distance from the Sun to Sedna. For reference, the solar system is about 1,921.56au if you measure to the heliopause. The size required to be large than the solar system would be, if my math is correct, over about 97.3 billion solar masses.
How vast is the Milky Way solar system?
There seems to be come confusion here. The Milky Way is a galaxy, not a solar system. Our solar system consists of the sun and the various planets,asteroids, comets, and other objects that orbit it. If you define the edge as being the heliopause (where the solar wind meets the interstellar medium, it is about 200 AU or 18.6 (18,600,000,000) billion miles across. The sun is just one of billions of stars in the Milky Way, which is about 100,000 light years or 5.9 quadrillion (590,000,000,000,000,000) miles across.the chocolate not that big
