It depends on how you define "object". The Sun is the largest. Jupiter is the next biggest object in the solar system.

Then again, if you want to get really technical, the largest thing in the solar system BY FAR would be Jupiter's magnetosphere, which extends a radius of several million miles and nearly reaches Saturn's orbit.

If the Asteroid belt can be considered an object (even though it is comprised of millions or billions of individual 'things' - rocks - then that would be the largest thing in the solar system.

What is the gravity range of celestial bodies in our solar system?

The gravity range of celestial bodies in our solar system varies widely, from the intense gravity of massive planets like Jupiter to the much weaker gravity of smaller bodies like asteroids and comets. The gravitational pull of a celestial body is determined by its mass and size.


What is the attraction between any two heavenly bodies?

The attraction between any two heavenly bodies is primarily due to gravity, which is a force of attraction that exists between all objects with mass. Gravity is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around stars, moons orbiting planets, and all other celestial bodies interacting with each other in the universe.


How does the size of the Milky Way galaxy compare to the solar system?

The Milky Way galaxy is much larger than the solar system. The Milky Way is a collection of billions of stars, including our sun, while the solar system consists of just one star (the sun) and its planets, moons, and other celestial bodies. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years in diameter, while the solar system is only a few light-hours across.


What would be the implications for the formation of the solar system if the solar nebula lacked any angular momentum initially?

If the solar nebula had no angular momentum initially, it would not have been able to form a spinning disk, which is necessary for the formation of a solar system. This spinning motion is what causes the material in the nebula to flatten into a disk shape, leading to the formation of planets and other celestial bodies. Without angular momentum, the material in the nebula would not have been able to come together to form a solar system as we know it.


What is the significance of the graph of the solar system in understanding planetary orbits and celestial movements?

The graph of the solar system helps us understand planetary orbits and celestial movements by showing the relative positions and movements of the planets in relation to the sun. By studying this graph, we can observe patterns in the orbits of the planets and predict their future positions, helping us understand the dynamics of the solar system and how celestial bodies interact with each other.
