The Solar System includes the Sun and all objects gravitationally bound to and orbiting it.
The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system consisting of the Sun and all celestial objects that orbit it. It is an isolated, single-star planetary system located within the Milky Way Galaxy. The Sun contains about 99.86% of the system's total mass and governs the motion of its planets and other bodies through gravity. The system includes eight planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—as well as dwarf planets, natural satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, interplanetary dust, and other small bodies. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago from the collapse of a molecular cloud, which produced the Sun and a protoplanetary disk from which the orbiting objects developed.
