Are stars part of your solar system?

No, stars are not part of our solar system. Our solar system consists of the Sun and all the objects that orbit it, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Stars are separate celestial bodies that exist outside of our solar system.


Does 600 billion solar masses equal to 600 billion stars?

Not necessarily. In simplest form, 600 billion solar masses simply means that something is 600 billion times more massive than the sun, regardless of what it is. The sun is more massive than the average star, so if we are talking about stars alone, then 600 billion masses would be equivalent to more than 600 billion stars. It would also depend on what the context is. For example if a galaxy is 600 billion solar masses, much of that mass would be in interstellar gas and dust clouds in addition to stars.


Are stars part of the solar system?

No, stars are not part of the solar system. Stars are massive celestial bodies that produce their own light and energy through nuclear fusion. Our solar system is comprised of the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.


Average distance between stars in the solar system?

The average distance between stars in the solar system is about 9.5 light-years. This distance can vary greatly depending on the specific stars being considered, as some stars may be closer or farther away.

How many Stars in the solar sytem?

Just our Sun. Beyond our Sun's family of planets, there are perhaps 4 billion stars in the Milky Way, and at least a billion other galaxies beyond that. However, our Sun is the only star in our solar system.


Are there any stars ahead of your solar system?

Yes. There are no stars in the Solar System besides the Sun but there are over billions of stars out of our Solar System.


How many moons and stars are there in the milky way?

There are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. We only know of moons in the solar system - 169 of them.


Is the solar system a galaxy?

No. Our galaxy is the Milky Way, our sun is one of maybe as many as 400 billion stars in it, and we live in a small solar system on the outer reaches of one of the arms.


How many solar system are in a galaxy?

Our galaxy has over 200 billion stars; many of them do have planets, and thus qualify as a "solar system". As to the total number, we will never know, as solar systems will live and die. As a rough guess, at least 50% of all stars should have planets - so that could be classified as a "Solar System".


Is our solar system also our galaxy or is there more than one solar system in the milky way?

No, our Solar System is not the galaxy. Our Solar System is the Sun, and the planets around it (plus a few other objects, such as asteroids and comets). Our Sun (the center of our Solar System) is a star; in the galaxy there are several hundred billion stars, each of which might be called a solar system. At least if it is confirmed that it has planets - but it has already been confirmed that many stars in our neighborhood have planets.


How many stars are between the earth and sun?

There are an estimated 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, which is where the sun and Earth are located. However, the vast majority of these stars are much farther away from our solar system than the sun.


Is the Milky Way in your solar system?

No, the Milky Way is not in the solar system. It's actually the other way 'round; our solar system revolves around one star of the estimated 200 to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy.


Are there lots of stars in the solar system?

There is only one star in our solar system, which is the sun. None of the other stars you see are in our solar system.


What are stars in the solar system like?

there is only 1 star in our solar system, which is our sun. the stars that we can see at night are outside of our solar system


Whey is the milkyway?

The Milky Way is our galaxy. The Milky Wat contains our solar system as well as 200 to 400 billion stars.


Is the solar system the only system in out galaxy?

No, it's thought that most of the 200 billion or so stars in our galaxy are solar systems themselves, with planets in orbit around them. These are know as exosolar planets, many have been identified through their gravitational effects on the stars.
