What is the number of planets that are in our solar system?

Out solar system has 8 planets:MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneIf you still want to count Pluto, it would be 9 planets.


What is a very large group of stars and planets that includes sun and solar system?

That would be a galaxy. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains billions of stars, planets, and other celestial objects.


Why does the sun have the greatest effect on the solar system?

All planets orbit around the sun because the sun is the main gravity pull in the whole solar system. If the sun was not in the solar system then all the planets would just drift away. Also if the sun was not around then there would be no warmth on any planets.


What would happen to earth and other planets in the solar system with out the Suns gravitational force?

Without the Sun's gravitational force, Earth and other planets in the solar system would no longer follow their orbits and would drift off into space in straight lines, as per Newton's first law of motion. This would lead to a chaotic and unstable solar system, with planets potentially colliding with one another or being pulled into the gravitational influence of other celestial bodies. The absence of the Sun's heat and light would also result in drastic temperature drops, making Earth and other planets inhospitable for life as we know it.


Did the sun come first in the solar system?

Yes. Without it, none of the other planets would have been able to form.

Are planets part of the solar system?

yes otherwise it would not be a solar system yes otherwise it would not be a solar system


Would there be a solar system if there were no planets?

Solar, which is derived from the Latin word Sol, meaning Sun and system which includes everything that orbits the Sun from Planets to asteriods, comets, moons and dust; go together to make Solar System. If you take away the planets you still have all the other material orbiting the sun, so it would still be a Solar System.


What would happen if planets did not move in a fixed orbit?

If planets did not move in a fixed orbit, their paths would become unpredictable and chaotic. This would likely result in collisions between planets or ejections from the solar system. Ultimately, the stability of the entire solar system would be compromised.


Are planets outside the solar system?

A solar system comprises a star (or combination of gravity bound stars) and their orbiting planets. We think the majority of stars are solar systems an we have detected planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. However in the process of forming a solar system we believe that planets my be permanently ejected from orbiting their stars and flung off into interstellar space. These planets would therefore indeed be outside any solar system.

Is the system of planets and other objects orbiting around our sun a good definition for the solar system?

Yes, that would be a good explanation for it.


What are the two planets that move around each other in the solar system?

All planets revolve around the Sun. There are no binary planet systems in our Solar System. The dwarf planets Pluto and Charon are possible candidates for a binary system because of the barycentre. The other alternative would be Pluto and Neptune because of Pluto's chaotic orbit.


Would you include Pluto in solar system diagram?

i probably would not, because if you did include it, then you would have to include all of the other dwarf planets :)

What solar system is planet earth?

The Earth is part of the star system Sol; which is another word for the Sun. Therefor eit is in the Solar System. Technically it is incorect to call the planets of other stars "solar systems" since they are not around the Sun. They would be correctly called by the name of their own star. Planets around the star Rigel would be in the Rigel System or Rigelan System.
