About The Solar System
◦ The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of
the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf
planets and small Solar System bodies.
◦ The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast
majority of the system's mass is in the Sun. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial
planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets, being substantially more
massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and
helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively
high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight
planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.
