True or false the heliopause marks the end of the solar system?

FALSE. The outer edge of the "Oort Cloud" of comets marks the end of the Solar System.


Which space probe has left the solar system?

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have both left the heliosphere, but neither has left the solar system. The edge of the solar system is considered to be the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, The exact width of the Oort Cloud is not known, but its estimated that it would take Voyager 2 about 300 years to reach the inner boundary of it. To reach the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, truly leaving the solar system, would take Voyager 2 something like 30,000 years.


What defines the outer boundary of our solar system, and how is it determined?

The outer boundary of our solar system is defined by the heliopause, where the solar wind meets the interstellar medium. It is determined by the point at which the pressure from the solar wind is balanced by the pressure from the interstellar medium. This boundary was reached by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 2012, making it the first human-made object to enter interstellar space.


What is considered the edge of the solar system?

The edge of the solar system is generally considered to be the heliopause, which is the boundary where the Sun's solar wind meets the interstellar medium. This is located beyond the orbit of Pluto and marks the outermost region influenced by the Sun's magnetic field and solar wind.


Which explains the outer gas planets when the solar system formed?

B. The young sun's solar winds pushed gases outward to the outer solar system.

What separates the 4 inner planets from the four outer planets?

The asteroid belt is generally regarded as the boundary between the inner solar system and the outer solar system.


Is there any planets in the outer solar system and what are their names?

The four outer planets but it depends what you mean by the outer solar system. If the boundary is set at 4 AU, you have Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
