Everything is mostly space. The diameter of the sun is 865 thousand miles, which is a bit under a million. The radius of the earth's orbit is 93 million miles, almost 100 million. Sedna, which isn't even outside the solar system, orbits 900 times as far (currently).

What is behind the sun?

There is empty space behind the sun, extending out into the vastness of the solar system and beyond. From Earth's perspective, the sun appears to be at the center of our solar system with planets orbiting around it.

What was the Solar system's space filled with?

The space in our solar system is filled mostly with vacuum, meaning it is mostly empty of matter. There are some particles, such as gas and dust, but they are sparsely distributed. The solar system is defined by the gravitational influence of the Sun, which keeps the planets and other objects in orbit.

How is it possible for atoms to be composed of mostly empty space?

Think of it as the planets being the electrons: Earth, Venus, Mars etc.... and the Sun being the nucleus. The size of the Sun and planets relative to the empty space in the solar system is small. It's the same kind of idea with atoms.


Why is the solar system black yet the sun shines?

The reason the remainder of the observable solar system appears black despite the highly luminous star at its center can be attributed to the properties of electromagnetic radiation, which continues to propagate outward in all directions in empty space until interrupted by a body which might scatter or reflect such radiation back to an observer on Earth. To be more precise, there is indeed some minor amount of scattering making the solar system not entirely "black" - such as Zodiacal light, or Gegenschein, which is sunlight scattered by small amounts of dust mostly in or near the plane of the ecliptic.


What are the planets in your solar system's atmosphere?

The solar system doesn't have an atmosphere, it occupies a piece of space which is an empty vacuum. Each planet may have its own atmosphere, a layer of gas at the surface.
