The Solar System is our home within the Milky Way galaxy and consists of the Sun and all celestial objects bound to it by gravity. Here's a brief description:
1. **Sun**: The central star, providing light and heat to the Solar System.
2. **Planets**: Eight major planets orbit the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
3. **Dwarf Planets**: Including Pluto and others like Ceres and Eris.
4. **Moons**: Each planet (except Mercury and Venus) has moons orbiting them. Earth has one moon, while Jupiter and Saturn have the most, with dozens each.
5. **Asteroid Belt**: Located between Mars and Jupiter, filled with rocky debris.
6. **Kuiper Belt**: Beyond Neptune, home to many icy objects, including Pluto.
7. **Oort Cloud**: A vast region of icy objects extending far beyond the Kuiper Belt.
The Solar System formed about 4.6 billion years ago from a giant molecular cloud. It continues to fascinate scientists with ongoing exploration and discovery missions.
