Editing Solar System

The '''Solar system''' consists of the [[Sun]] and all of the objects that orbit it. These include planets, planets' moons, asteroids and smaller objects. The basic install of Orbiter only includes the inner planets. There is an addon available for the outer planets.

-The Solar System is made up of the [[Sun]] and all the objects that orbit around it. The Sun is orbited by planets, asteroids, comets and other things. The solar system was formed about 4½ billion years ago from a cloud of dust and gas.

-The Sun is a G type star, containing 99.9% of the Solar System's mass. This means that it has strong gravity. The other objects are pulled into orbit around the Sun. The sun is mostly made out of hydrogen and helium.
-There are eight planets in the Solar System. From closest to farthest from the Sun, they are: [[Mercury]], [[Venus]], [[Earth]], [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]], [[Saturn]], [[Uranus]] and [[Neptune]]. The first four planets are called terrestrial planets. They are mostly made of rock and metal, and they are mostly solid. The last four planets are called gas giants. This is because they are much larger than other planets and are mostly made of gas.
-The Solar System also contains other things. There are asteroids, mostly between Mars and Jupiter. Further out than Neptune, there is the Kuiper belt and the scattered disc. These areas have dwarf planets, including Pluto. There are thousands of very small objects in these areas. There are also comets, centaurs, and there is interplanetary dust.
-Six of the planets and three of the dwarf planets are orbited by moons. Furthermore, planetary dust orbits the gas giants. Many other systems like the Solar System have been found. Each of the billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy might have a planetary system.
-The basic install of Orbiter only includes the planets and . There are add-ons available for various minor planets and comets.
