It was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh and was classified for 75 years as the ninth planet of the Solar System. Since the beginning of the 1990s, its status as a planet was

It is believed that Eris was originally located inside the Kuiper Belt, but due to gravitational interactions with Neptune, as the Solar System was forming, the dwarf planet was forced out into the

Taken together, the members of the solar system preserve patterns that can tell us about the formation of the entire system. As we begin our exploration of the planets, we want to introduce our modern

Traditionally, the solar system has been divided into planets (the big bodies orbiting the Sun), their satellites (a.k.a. moons, variously sized objects orbiting the planets), asteroids (small dense objects

There are five official dwarf planets in our Solar System, Pluto, Haumea, Eris, Makemake, and Ceres. There are other dwarf planets such as Sedna, Quaoar, Orcus, or Gonggong, but their status is still

As the proto-Sun heated up and initiated hydrogen fusion, surrounding materials began to coalesce into larger bodies through a process called accretion. This led to the formation of the inner rocky planets

There is evidence that the formation of the Solar System began about 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a protoplanetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.
