Planets

Sol is the name of our Sun and all the stuff directly affected by our sun is considered our Solar System. Here is a list of what we have so far in order of distance from the sun:

	Name	Distance (AU)	Year	Day	Diameter (km)
	☉ Sol (our Sun)	N/A	N/A	25-36 Days	1,390,000
	☿ Mercury	0.39	88 Days	58.6 Days	4,880
	♀ Venus	0.72	224 Days	243 Days	12,103
	⊕ Earth	1.00	365.25 Days	24 Hours	12,756
	♂ Mars	1.52	687 Days	24.6 Hours	6,794
—	Asteroids	2-4	N/A	N/A	N/A
	♃ Jupiter	5.20	11.86 Years	9.9 Hours	142,800
	♄ Saturn	9.53	29.5 Years	10.2 Hours	120,536
	♅ Uranus	19.19	84 Years	17.2 Hours	51,120
	♆ Neptune	30.06	165 Years	16 Hours	59,528
	Kuiper Belt	30 - 55	N/A	N/A	N/A
	Ort Cloud	50,000+	N/A	N/A	N/A
	Other Objects	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A

Gas, Dust, & Ice

Our all this was created from a nebula of gas, dust, and ice. Some of it started to clump together because of gravity and the larger pieces gathered more stuff until it was all a swirling disc of mass called a planetary nebula. Enough gathered up at the center of this disc and crushed under its own weight to the point that fusion began. That's when our sun burst into flame.

All that fire and fusion in the sun sent out a solar wind that blew away most of the smallest objects in the disc leaving behind many of the large ones which we now call planets, moons, asteroids and other bodies.

The sun has a ring like jupiter, we call it the asteroid belt. All the planets closer than this belt we call the Inner Planets and all the planets farther than this belt we call the Outer Planets (clever scientists).

Now for all the other stuff the sun blew away with its solar wind. Almost all of it is contained in the Kuiper Belt and The Ort Cloud. Think of the Ort Cloud as a ball with the solar system inside. This ball is made up of mostly gas, ice, & dust and is slowly moving away from the sun (that solar wind again). The kuiper belt is similar in composition to the Ort Cloud and resides between Neptune and Pluto.
