WHAT IS SOLAR TTHE SYSTEM
What is Solar system?
The solar system comprises the EARTH's SUN and the RETINUE of celestial objects gravitationally bound to it. Traditionally, this is said to consist of the Sun, nine planets and their 158 currently known moons; however, a large number of other objects, including asteroids, meteoroids, planetoids, comets, and interplanetary dust, orbit the Sun as well. Astronomers are debating over the presence of a tenth planet.
Although the term "solar system" is frequently applied to other star systems and the planetary systems which may comprise them, it should strictly refer to Earth's system specifically: the word "SOLAR" is derived from the Sun's Latin name, SOL, and thus the term sometimes appears as Solar System.
