What is the sola system?

The solar system is the collection of all the planets that revolve around the sun and other smaller bodies. These other bodies include the moon, comets, meteoroids and asteroids among others.


How do the components of the solar system interact?

Firstly, the distances in the solar system are so great that nearly all the interactions are between the Sun and the other bodies. These include gravitational attraction, absorption of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun by other bodies, and interaction of those bodies with the solar wind. Jupiter gives off some radiation, so that should interact with other bodies, and the Earth and Moon reflect light to each other, which should apply to other planets and moons.


What is the movement of the bodies in the solar system?

Every member of the solar system revolves around some other member in an elliptical orbit. From time to time, other bodies ... such as non-periodic comets for example ... pass through the solar system and continue on their way. Those are not members of the solar system, just visitors.


Why does your moon have so many craters?

Like all major bodies on the solar system, the moon has been hit by many asteroids and comets. Most of the large impacts were when the solar system was young. Unlike some of the other worlds such as Earth, however, the moon has no geologic activity, no atmosphere, and no water to bury or wear down those craters.

What are the sun and its orbiting planets known as?

Stellar system being the generic term. There are no other Solar systems; those are stellar systems. Specific names might be siriusian, Miran, betelgeussian...etc. Which means that our stellar system might be called The Sol System, or The Solar system. They are also known as celestial bodies.


When an object spins on it axis it does what?

It rotates. For planets and other large bodies in our solar system it causes day and night phases as points on the surface come into the light then back into the shadow.

Is it true that a star with its orbiting planets is the solar system?

Yes, the solar system consists of a large central star (called the sun for our solar system), with planets that ore in orbit around it. There are other bodies in orbit around the sun also, such as minor planets, asteroids, comets, and other small objects.

Its at the centre of the solar system. All the planets and other bodies are in orbit around it.

What are nearly round bodies whose orbits cross other planet's orbits?

Dwarf Planets are bodies that both orbit the sun directly and which are large enough to be approximately spherical in shape. They are not the dominant objects in their orbit though, crossing other orbits of other large bodies. If they were to be found not to do this, being the dominant body at that orbit, then they would be classed as a planet.
