Besides the 8 recognised planets in our solar system, there are also minor plants and dwarf planets. These still orbit our sun, but are not large enough to qualify as a planet. There are also comets - small bodies of rock and ice that are in a highly eccentric orbit around our sun, asteroids, which are smaller objects in orbit around the sun (mainly between orbits of Mars and Jupiter), Kuiper belt objects, which are out beyond the orbit of Neptune and Oort cloud objects, which is further out still. There are also moons and artificial satellites - not in a direct orbit around the sun, but in direct orbit with objects that are then rhemselves in direct orbit around the sun.

A star and all the objects that orbit it are?

A star and all the objects that orbit it are part of a solar system. The star is typically at the center of the system, and objects such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets orbit around it due to its gravitational pull. These objects together form a dynamic and interconnected system.


What objects are in orbit outside of the solar system Periodically earth passes through their orbits?

If the objects are in orbit around the sun then they are in the Solar System.


Why are objects in solar system different from each other?

Our solar system consists of the sun, the planets, their moons, and a variety of smaller objects. The sun is at the center of the solar system, with other orbiting around it. The force of gravity holds the solar system together.


How do objects in your solar system stay in their objects?

Gravity is the force which keeps them there.

Why cant you have a solar system without a staer?

Because a solar system is a system of objects orbiting a star. Stars are the centers of solar systems.


Are there other objects in the solar system besides planets?

Yes, there are many other objects in the solar system besides planets. Some of these include moons, asteroids, comets, dwarf planets, and Kuiper Belt objects. Each of these objects plays a unique role in shaping the dynamics of our solar system.


Why is it useful to study the smaller objects in the solar system?
