Solar and System
This fiery swath was actually only a belt of minor planets, almost like the asteroid belt in the original Solar System.
Asteroids ( from Greek ἀστεροειδής-asteroeidēs, " star-like ", from " star " and " like, in form ") are a class of small Solar System bodies in orbit around the Sun.
These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disk of a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics of an active comet, but as small objects in the outer Solar System were discovered, their volatile-based surfaces were found to more closely resemble comets, and so were often distinguished from traditional asteroids.
Thus the term asteroid has come increasingly to refer specifically to the small bodies of the inner Solar System out to the orbit of Jupiter, which are usually rocky or metallic.
This article will restrict the use of the term ' asteroid ' to the minor planets of the inner Solar System.
The information obtained by astrometric measurements provides information on the kinematics and physical origin of our Solar System and our galaxy, the Milky Way.
An equivalent definition is the radius of an unperturbed circular Newtonian orbit about the Sun of a particle having infinitesimal mass, moving with an angular frequency of radians per day ; or that length such that, when used to describe the positions of the objects in the Solar System, the heliocentric gravitational constant ( the product GM < sub >☉</ sub >) is equal to ()< sup > 2 </ sup > AU < sup > 3 </ sup >/ d < sup > 2 </ sup >.
" As such, the meter is undefined for the purposes of measuring distances within the Solar System.
High-energy cosmic rays impacting Earth's atmosphere ( or any other matter in the Solar System ) produce minute quantities of antiparticles in the resulting particle jets, which are immediately annihilated by contact with nearby matter.
* 1989 – Voyager 2 spacecraft makes its closest approach to Neptune, the second to last planet in the Solar System at the time.
Note: because Solar System bodies are never perfect diffuse reflectors, astronomers use empirically derived relationships to predict apparent magnitudes when accuracy is required.
This interdisciplinary field encompasses the search for habitable environments in our Solar System and habitable planets outside our Solar System, the search for evidence of prebiotic chemistry, laboratory and field research into the origins and early evolution of life on Earth, and studies of the potential for life to adapt to challenges on Earth and in outer space.
Druyan was responsible for the selection of the music on the Voyager Golden Record for the pioneering exploratory missions of the Solar System — Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.
Also, general relativity has passed stringent tests on the scale of the Solar System and binary stars while extrapolation to cosmological scales has been validated by the empirical successes of various aspects of the Big Bang theory.
The remaining 14 naturally occurring elements possess half lives too short for them to have been present at the beginning of the Solar System, and are therefore considered to be transient elements.
Some of these elements, notably thorium ( atomic number 90 ) and uranium ( atomic number 92 ), have one or more isotopes with half-lives long enough to survive as remnants of the explosive stellar nucleosynthesis that produced the heavy elements before the formation of our Solar System.
The abundance of elements in the Solar System is in keeping with their origin from nucleosynthesis in the Big Bang and a number of progenitor supernova stars.

* Colonization of Ceres, has been proposed as one possible target for human colonization in the inner Solar System
In most common usage, the term is used for the approximately circular depression in the surface of a planet, moon or other solid body in the Solar System, formed by the hypervelocity impact of a smaller body with the surface.
