Overview

The planets beyond our solar system are called "exoplanets," and they come in a wide variety of sizes, from gas giants larger than Jupiter to small, rocky planets about as big around as Earth or Mars. They can be hot enough to boil metal or locked in deep freeze. They can orbit their stars so tightly that a "year" lasts only a few days

Plato then set the Sun, moon, and planets at different lengths from us using these numbers. But what about the geometry? Plato argued that 4 of the perfect solids (the tetrahedron, the cube, the octahedron, and the icosahedron) were responsible for the elements of fire, earth, air, and water, while the 5th perfect solid (a dodecahedron) was responsible for whatever the

Jupiter. Asteroids also belong to the category "Small Solar System Bodies" (see "Comet" above) and have also been referred to as minor planets. All the asteroids put together would only have a diameter about half that of the Earth''s Moon. Modified from Original Activity "Sorting the Solar System" Astronomical Society of the Pacific

18.1: Introduction to the Solar System

Today, we know that our solar system is just one tiny part of the universe as a whole. Neither Earth nor the Sun are at the center of the universe. However, the heliocentric model accurately describes the solar system. In our modern view of the solar system, the Sun is at the center, with the planets moving in elliptical orbits around the Sun.
