The 

Solar system
The Solar System (also spelled Solar System[a]) consists of the Sun
along with its planetary system (comprising eight planets along with
their natural satellites) and other non-stellar objects.[b]

Apart from the eight planets, scientists have hypothesized the existence
of another planet, tentatively called the Ninth Planet. This
hypothetical giant planet would be at the edge of the Solar System.
[10] The existence of the planet would explain the unusual orbital
configuration of a group of trans-Neptunian objects (OTNs)
• It was formed 4.6 billion years ago, as a result of the gravitational collapse of
a giant molecular cloud. The most massive object is the central star - the Sun,
the second most massive object being the planet Jupiter. The four small inner
planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, called terrestrial planets / telluric
planets, are mainly composed of rocks and metal. The four outer planets,
called gas giants, are much more massive than the telluric ones. The two
largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn, are composed mainly of hydrogen and
helium; the two more distant planets, Uranus and Neptune, are composed
mostly of substances with relatively high melting temperatures (compared to
hydrogen and helium), called ices, such as water, ammonia, and methane.
They are called "ice giants" (distinct term from "gas giant"). All planets have
nearly circular orbits arranged in a nearly flat disk called the ecliptic plane.
• For several thousand years humanity, with few exceptions, did not
recognize the existence of the solar system. People believed that the Earth
was at the center of the Universe and was quite different from the other
divine and ethereal objects moving in the sky. Although the Greek
philosopher Aristarchus of Samos speculated about the heliocentric
reorganization of the cosmos,[15] Nicolaus Copernicus was the first
astronomer to develop a predictive heliocentric mathematical system.[16]
His 17th-century successors (Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac
Newton) had an understanding of physics that led them to gradually accept
the idea that the Earth actually revolved around the Sun and that the other
planets were governed by the same laws of physics that also governs Earth.
• In addition, the invention of the telescope led to the discovery of new
planets and satellites. In more recent times, improvements in
telescopes and the use of unmanned spacecraft have opened the way
to the study of geological phenomena in the solar system (the study
of mountains and impact craters) and seasonal meteorological
phenomena on some planets (such as clouds, sandstorms and ice
sheets).
 Solar System compozition

• The main component of the Solar System is the Sun, a main-sequence

G2 star that contains 99.86% of the known mass of the system and
dominates it gravitationally.[17] The four largest bodies orbiting the
Sun, the gas giants, make up about 99% of the remaining mass, with
Jupiter and Saturn together accounting for more than 90%.[d]
