Best Answer

The 8 "major planets" are (in size order) Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury. By mass the order is the same except for Uranus and Neptune switching positions.

The remainder of the known planets are the 5 dwarf planets, and about 2 dozen candidate dwarf planets, and the asteroids (aka minor planets) in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter.

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.


Is there anything unusual about Jupiters orbit?

Not particularly, it is just further away from the sun than earth is.Every planet has a unique orbit, so every planet's orbit is unusual. The most unusual thing about Mars's orbit, however, is the fact that it has the 2nd most "eccentric" orbit out of the 8 planets in our Solar System. That means it is the least circular orbit after Mercury's.


What date and country did voyager probe go out of 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.
