The width of our solar system is difficult to define precisely as it extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto, which is about 7.5 billion kilometers from the Sun. If we consider the distance to the outermost edge of the Oort Cloud, a theoretical sphere of comets that is estimated to be at least 1 light-year away, the width of the solar system would be much larger.
