Our solar system is planetary system that orbits a star and all of the objects that travel around it�eight planets, dozens of moons and millions of asteroids, comets and meteoroids.
Most stars host their own planets, so there are likely tens of billions of other solar systems in the Milky Way galaxy alone. We've discovered thousands of planetary systems around other stars.
The planetary system we call home is located in an outer spiral arm of the vast Milky Way galaxy. It consists of the Sun (our star) and everything that orbits around it. This includes the eight planets and their natural satellites (such as our moon), dwarf planets and their satellites, as well as asteroids, comets and countless particles of smaller debris.
