Category:Solar System

The Solar System consists of the Sun and the other celestial objects gravitationally bound to it: the eight planets, their 165 known moons, five officially-designated dwarf planets (including Pluto) and their six known moons, and billions of small bodies. Small bodies include asteroids, Kuiper belt objects, comets, meteoroids and interplanetary dust.
