The Sun, Moon and stars are all located in the Solar System.
The Sun is the main component of the solar system and also controls it. All other celestial bodies are bound by the Sun's gravity.

Let us learn more about the solar system in this article.
MEANING OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The Solar System is a gravitationally bound system, consisting of the Sun and the celestial bodies that either directly or indirectly revolve around the Sun. As the name suggests, the main component of the Solar System is the Sun. Sun is the largest star and at the center of the solar systemsituated at. It is the most important energy source on earth.
All the bodies in the Solar System are connected to each other due to the immense gravitational force of the Sun. The Sun accounts for most of the mass of the Solar System, while Jupiter accounts for most of the remaining mass of the Solar System. The scale of the Solar System is very large, at least 100 astronomical units, which is 15 trillion kilometers. The solar system has been in an existence for about 4.6 billion years old.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The main component of the Solar System is the Sun. Other components include planets, moons, asteroids and comets are included. Except Halley's Comet, most of the objects in the Solar System revolve around the Sun in the same way as the Sun. Usually, satellites also rotate in the same direction as their planets. The complete composition of the Solar System includes the Sun and the inner or terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars), which are surrounded by the rocky asteroid belt and the giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), which are surrounded by rocky belts.
COMPONENTS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The components of the Solar System are:
SUN
The Sun is the largest star in the Solar System, accounting for 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System. It is located in the center and is a hot plasma ball. Continuous nuclear reactions occur in their nuclei, which emit energy in the form of light and infrared radiation. The Sun is the most important and most important energy source for life on Earth. Its mass is about 73% hydrogen, about 25% helium, with the remainder being oxygen, carbon, neon and iron.
PLANETS
There are eight planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Mercury is the closest and smallest planet to the Sun. It has no natural satellite. The flower has a thick layer of silicate surrounding the iron core. It is the hottest and driest planet in comparison to Earth. It also does not have any natural satellites. Earth is the only planet where there is life. It has a unique hydrogel and 21% free oxygen to sustain life. The Moon is the only natural satellite. The atmosphere of Mars is mainly composed of carbon dioxide. thisIt is red due to iron oxide in the soil. Phobos and Phobos are natural satellites. The mass of Jupiter is 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets. It consists of hydrogen and helium and has 79 satellites. Saturn has a large ring system made up of small particles of ice and rock. It is less dense than water and has 82 satellites. Uranus is the lightest of the giant planets, and has a relatively low core temperature. It has 27 satellites. Neptune with 14ran more interior hot than UranusIt emits satellite.
ASTEROIDS
Asteroids are large, irregularly shaped pieces of carbon, rock, or metal, found primarily in the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. They are also often called asteroids because they are much smaller than planets. They cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can be seen with binoculars or a small telescope.
COMETS
These are small irregularly shaped celestial bodies made of ice. It is generally believed that it originated in Kuiperwas in the belt. The Kuiper Belt is the farthest region in the Solar System after Neptune. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat will cause the ice to evaporate and leave a beau
