The solar system is a collection of celestial bodies that are bound together by gravity. It consists of the sun, eight planets, their moons, and other smaller objects such as asteroids and comets.
The sun is a yellow dwarf star at the center of the solar system. It is the largest object and contains about 99.8% of the total mass of the entire solar system.
There are eight planets in the solar system, divided into two groups: the inner rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) and the outer gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).
Many of the planets in the solar system have moons, with Jupiter and Saturn having the most. Additionally, there are numerous asteroids and comets orbiting the sun, with the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.
