What is the Solar System?

The Solar System is a place or classification of planets orbit a common star (the Sun) which in revolve orbits virtually round method around the center of the galaxy. The 99.86% of the mass of the solar system is restricted in the Sun and most of the respite in Jupiter.

How did it?

Near are numerous theories about the configuration of our Solar System, one of which is the nebular theory:

It indicate that the solar system had formed from a nebula (cloud of gas and dust immense) that began to collapse upon itself due to gravitational forces which outnumbered own pressure forces the gases tend to that the nebula expands.

The nebula in a state of contraction began to spin on its axis (similar to a spin). Because the nebula suffered the action of gravitational forces, gas pressure and rotation began to flatten and took the shape we see in the figure below.

This appearance is that of our galaxy, the Milky Way, within it were formed the planets and dwarf planets of mass effects that were separated, the mass of bodies that began to separate and turn around a large glowing mass formed Solar System, which gradually evolved and transformed due to collisions between the bodies that compose it (crashes planets and asteroids, comets and other bodies) to the form it has today.

Does the solar system will always exist the mode know it?

                                            

No, approximating everything in natural world, our solar system is in evolution, that evolution depending primarily on the evolution of the star (Sun) around which revolve all its components (planets, dwarf planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, etc.). As the sun comes to an end the system will change dramatically changing the life that she holds.

Everywhere are you located?

Since mention above, belong to the Milky Way and our solar system is located at one end of the galaxy.

How far we are starting the center of the galaxy?

Approximately about 33,000 light years (or whatever it is about 31 x 10 6 km, well if you do not understand is 31'000, 000 kilometers).

As we know the heavenly bodies usually turn into a movement of rotation about at a given site, for our solar system, the center is the center of the Milky Way and our Sun takes 230 million Earth years to make a complete return to the center.

 Who make up it?

Our system consists of a star which provide the heat essential for the existence of life on our planet, this star is the Sun (hence the name Solar System), also there are eight planets (08), and three planets Dwarf (03) some with their respective satellites which total over 60, and an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. At the edge of the solar system we can find the Crupper belt which consists of bodies of no more than 1,000 miles across mostly collected of ice.

In order of nearness to the Sun, the first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars ) are called the inner planets because they are located between the Sun and the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt is composed of bodies from 1.5 to 950 kilometers in diameter. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. There are also three dwarf planets, Ceres (located between Mars and Jupiter), Pluto and 2003 UB313 (not yet official name). Of these three dwarf planets Pluto + nag is the only one with satellite. There is the asteroid belt on a theory that this belt was formed following the fall would have been a planet between Mars and Jupiter.
