Solar System

Sometimes it seems very surprising and amazing when we talk about the facts of the Universe. Simultaneously we have to accept the truth (no other way to save ourselves).

Since my childwhood I have keen interest towards our SKY and the objects travelling across it without any reason for billions and billions of years. Whatever the Human beings(scientists) are presenting as a theory, actually all those things are already existing and we are just discoverying and redefining it in our own way and frame of reference.

Anyways here we will discuss about our Solar System. There are billions and billions of galaxies in our Universe. There are an estimated 100 billion(1011) galaxies within distance we can see or in the Observable Universe. The number of stars in a galaxy depends upon size of galaxy. Typical galaxies range from as few as ten million (107) stars up to one trillion (1012) stars. All the stars usually orbit the center of mass of that perticular galaxy they are associated with.


Galaxies can also contain many nebulas, multiple star systems, star clusters, and various interstellar clouds. The name of Galaxy where our Sun is present is Milky Way(Mandakini: in Hindi) galaxy. There are planets and asteroids rotating arround Sun and as a whole this system is known as Solar System.
