Our planetary system is named the "solar system" because our Sun is named Sol, after the Latin word for Sun, "solis," and anything related to the Sun we call "solar" Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity β the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; hundreds of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids Beyond our own solar system, we have discovered thousands of planetary systems orbiting other stars in the Milky Way Astronomy News2024 Full Moon schedule and names
