Scientists have been studying the solar system for centuries. Thanks to them, as well as advances in science and technology, we have a lot of key information about the universe today. But how well do you know it? Try answering the following 10 questions to test your knowledge.
Solar System
The Solar System is a system of planets, moons, asteroids, comets and other cosmic bodies that are gravitationally bound to the Sun. It is also the main center of the solar system and is a G-class star in our galaxy called the Milky Way.
The Solar System includes eight major planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These planets are divided into two main groups – the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars), which are closer to the Sun and have a solid surface, and the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune), which are larger and are composed of mainly from gas.

Danger from space: An errant planet can tear apart the solar system
Each planet has its own moons, with Earth having one moon while Jupiter and Saturn each have tens to hundreds of moons. In addition to planets and moons, the solar system also contains asteroids, which are small rocky or metallic bodies, and comets.

Zrod planet
The Solar System has a very ancient origin, with the Sun estimated to be approximately 4.6 billion years old. It was formed from a huge cloud of gas and dust that began to contract under the influence of gravity. This process led to the formation of the Sun at the center of the system, while the rest of the gas and dust formed into planets and other bodies. The planets, including Earth, formed from the collisions and accretions of smaller bodies, which took millions of years.

When it comes to the habitability of planets in our solar system, only Earth is the only known planet with conditions suitable for life as we know it. Important factors for habitability include the presence of liquid water, an atmosphere with sufficient oxygen, and a suitable temperature. However, scientists are still trying to discover signs of life or potentially habitable conditions on other bodies, such as Mars or some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, through space missions and scientific surveys.
Thanks to various missions and researches, we currently know quite a lot about the universe and the solar system. But how are you doing with your knowledge?
