First of all, it's our Solar System (unless you live in another Solar System). They were all discovered by telescopes and mathematics. Their orbits were predicted based on perturbations of other planets. This is a fascinating study and well worth pursuing if you are interested in this kind of thing.

Precisely because: That's the way that gravity works.


What are the contents of our solar system?

From a mass standpoint, the best answer is "The Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, and miscellaneous debris." More specifically: other than the Sun, which is nearly all the mass of the solar system, there are 8 planets, satellites of those planets (a couple of hundred of these), asteroids, Kuiper belt objects (and what are sometimes called "trans-Neptunian objects" for lack of a better name), the Oort cloud, and weirder things like comets and the rings of the outer planets.


What are all the systems called in Star Wars?

If by all the systems you mean altogether, it would be the galaxy. See, each system is like one of our Solar Systems, with lots of planets, right? and a lot of systems makes up what is known, to them, as a "rim" So there's the inner rim, the middle rim, and the outer rim. Beyond the outer rim are the "unknown regions" where there are no hyperspace lines, meaning the unexplored area of their galaxy and the galaxies beyond.

Why do you compare outer planets to inner planets?

Outer planets and inner planets are compared because they have distinct differences in size, composition, and characteristics. Inner planets are smaller, rocky, and denser, while outer planets are larger, gaseous, and have thick atmospheres. Studying these differences helps scientists understand how planets form and evolve in our solar system.
