	Solar system
		The remaining Kuiper belt objects are classified as Cubewanos in the main belt and scattered disk objects in the outer fringes.
		Small quantities of dust are present throughout the solar system and are responsible for the phenomenon of zodiacal light.
		The solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy, a spiral galaxy with a diameter of about 100,000 light years containing approximately 200 billion stars, of which our Sun is fairly typical.

		Small quantities of dust are present throughout the solar system and are responsible for the phenomenon of zodiacal light.
		Planetary systems are generally believed to form as part of the same process which results in star formation; although, some argue that systems are formed by some kind of accidental "stellar near-collison".
		The solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy, a spiral galaxy with a diameter of about 100,000 light years containing approximately 200 billion stars, of which our Sun is fairly typical.

	Solar System
		When a comet enters the inner Solar System, its proximity to the Sun causes its icy surface to sublimate and ionise, creating a coma; a long tail of gas and dust which is often visible with the naked eye.
		The point at which the solar system ends and interstellar space begins is not precisely defined, since its outer boundaries are delineated by two separate forces: the solar wind and the Sun's gravity.
		This object proved to be the first of a new population, which came to be known as the Kuiper Belt; an icy analogue to the asteroid belt of which such objects as Pluto and Charon were deemed a part.

		Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the solar system, named after the Roman god of war (the counterpart of the Greek Ares), on account of its blood red color as viewed in the night sky.

	Asteroid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The term "minor planet" (or "planetoid") carries no strong suggestion about the composition of the object or its general location in the solar system, and some argue that not every minor planet should be called an "asteroid".
		See Solar System for a complete taxonomy of objects in our system, and minor planet for a taxonomy of the subplanetary objects that include asteroids.
		In 1975, an asteroid taxonomic system based on color, albedo, and spectral shape was developed by Clark R. Chapman, David Morrison and Ben Zellner.

	Kuiper-Oort
		Occasionally the orbit of a Kuiper Belt object will be disturbed by the interactions of the giant planets in such a way as to cause the object to cross the orbit of Neptune.
		It is estimated that there are at least 35,000 Kuiper Belt objects greater than 100 km in diameter, which is several hundred times the number (and mass) of similar sized objects in the main asteroid belt.
		In 2004, the discovery of an object known as 2003 VB12 "Sedna" was announced.

		Observations of solar system targets required tracking of the specific object by the spacecraft via a raster observation (see Section 4.5).
		Therefore, observations of solar system targets in the spacecraft raster mode were forbidden.
		SSOs observed in the solar system tracking mode have associated numbers in the Mission Data Base that were used to identify these targets to the mission planning system, and therefore the ISO Data Archive (IDA) contains both the target name and the associated number in this list, either of which can be used in searching.

		Mars, but that calculation was based on the premise that a single object was being observed; once it was realized that there were in fact two objects instead of one, the estimated size of Pluto was revised downward.
		Kuiper belt objects are minor planets, so the question arose as to whether to consider Pluto to be one too.

	Articles - Pluto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Isaac Asimov suggested the term mesoplanet be used for planetary objects intermediate in size between Mercury, the smallest terrestrial planet with a diameter of 4879.4 km and Ceres, the largest known asteroid with a mean diameter of 950 km, which would include Pluto but not most moons.
		On July 29, 2005, a Trans-Neptunian object called 2003 UB was announced, which on the basis of its magnitude and simple albedo considerations is assumed to be larger than Pluto.
		This caused its discoverers to call it as the "10th planet" of the solar system, although there is no consensus yet on whether to call it a planet, and others consider the new discovery to be the strongest argument yet for demoting Pluto to the status of a minor planet.

	Pluto (planet) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Because Pluto is also the smallest planet in our solar system and has a highly eccentric orbit (which takes it inside the orbit of Neptune) there has been some debate regarding whether Pluto should be classified as a planet (see below for details).
		See List of solar system objects by mass and List of solar system objects by radius.
		While Pluto's identification as Planet X began to be doubted soon after its discovery, and for some decades afterwards some considered that a hypothetical tenth planet might be the true Planet X which supposedly caused anomalies in Uranus and Neptune's position, Pluto's identity as the solar system's ninth planet was unquestioned until the 1990s.

		Alfvén and Arrhenius (1976) proposed that the formation of the solar system is strongly influenced by plasma physics processes.The Sun, a huge cloud of plasma, is characterized by a massive and irregular escape of the upper ionized atmosphere (the solar corona), termed the solar wind.
		Meteoroids belong to the smallest objects in the solar system.

	Pluto
		In the matter of Pluto the discretion of naming the new object belonged to Lowell Observatory and its director, Vesto Melvin Slipher, who, in the words of Tombaugh, was "urged to suggest a name for the new planet before someone else did".
		Some agree that an astronomical object more than about 360 km in diameter, at which point the object has a tendency to become round under its own gravity, should be known as a planet.
		On July 29, 2005, a Trans-Neptunian object called 2003 UB313 was announced, along with the claim that it is at least as large as Pluto, and estimated to be half again larger.
