What are the celestial bodies that make up the solar system?

The solar system contains many members. The most important ones are the sun and the eight planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The secondary members are the five dwarfs that have been identified. Planets (Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea, Makemake) and at least 173 satellites orbiting the major planets, and finally countless small celestial bodies (asteroid belt, Kuiper belt, comets, interstellar dust wait).

< p>The sun is located in the center of the sun. It is the largest and hottest planet in the solar system, with a core temperature as high as 15 million degrees Celsius. The eight planets in the solar system can be divided into terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and Jupiter-like planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) according to their characteristics. The terrestrial planets are mainly composed of silicate rocks. Planets, Jupiter-like planets are gas planets. Mercury is the closest and smallest planet to the sun. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. The Earth is the only planet in the solar system with life. Mars is the planet in the solar system that has the most similar environment to the Earth and is the most likely to harbor life. It is currently also the preferred location for human planet immigration. Jupiter is the largest and fastest-rotating planet. With 69 grams of satellites, Jupiter is the planet with the most natural satellites discovered so far. The largest satellite in the solar system is Jupiter's Ganymede. Saturn is a planet with a beautiful ring around it, which is the planetary ring of Saturn (many planets have planetary rings, but the rings of Saturn are particularly beautiful when viewed from the earth, which is an important reason why it is famous). Uranus is the planet with the coldest atmosphere in the solar system, with temperatures as low as -224°C. Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun.
