It doesn't have one. The NGC numbers are used to describe objects in outer space - as seen from Earth. Nor are individual objects in our Solar System included, as far as I know.
It's an object in outer space; that's basically what astronomy is about - studying objects in outer space.
Two regions of the solar system are the inner solar system, which includes the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) and the asteroid belt, and the outer solar system, which includes the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), as well as dwarf planets and various other celestial objects like comets and asteroids.
When observers see objects beyond the outer reaches of our solar system, they may have spotted a new dwarf planet, a trans-Neptunian object, or a distant Kuiper Belt object. These observations could help expand our understanding of the outer regions of our solar system and the diversity of objects that exist there.
Earth is part of the Inner Solar System.

N.a.s.a
An astronomer studies outer space, including galaxies, stars, planets, and other celestial objects. They use telescopes and other tools to observe and analyze the universe, including the solar system. Their research helps us understand the origins and makeup of various celestial bodies.
No. The Kupier belt is a collection of icy objects in the outer solar system.

Its gravity keeps them in their orbits, just like all the objects in the solar system.
Objects in the outer solar system, such as dwarf planets like Pluto, and Kuiper Belt objects, are believed to have been least modified since the formation of the solar system. These objects are located far from the Sun and have experienced less heating and geological activity compared to objects closer to the Sun. Additionally, some asteroids in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter are considered primitive, with little alteration since the early solar system.
Outer space is much bigger than the solar system.
A spinning cloud of dust began to compress to form the sun; small planetary objects formed; hydrogen and helium became concentrated in the outer solar system to form the outer planets.
