	The Solar System
		Nearly all the solar system by volume appears to be an empty void.
		The solar magnetic field is the dominating magnetic field throughout the interplanetary regions of the solar system, except in the immediate environment of planets which have their own magnetic fields.
		The terrestrial planets are the four innermost planets in the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

	Solar System - MSN Encarta
		Solar System, the Sun and everything that orbits the Sun, including the nine planets and their satellites; the asteroids and comets; and interplanetary dust and gas.
		The dimensions of the solar system are specified in terms of the mean distance from Earth to the Sun, called the astronomical unit (AU).
		The solar system was the only planetary system known to exist around a star similar to the Sun until 1995, when astronomers discovered a planet about 0.6 times the mass of Jupiter orbiting the star 51 Pegasi.

	Solar system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In broad terms, the charted regions of the solar system consist of the Sun, four rocky bodies close to it called the terrestrial planets, an inner belt of rocky asteroids, four gas giant planets, three dwarf planets, and an outer belt of small, icy bodies known as the Kuiper belt.
		The inner solar system was too warm for volatile molecules like water and methane to condense, and so the planetesimals which formed there were relatively small (comprising only 0.6% the mass of the disc) and composed largely of compounds with high melting points, such as silicates and metals.
		The immediate galactic neighborhood of the solar system is known as the Local Fluff, an area of dense cloud in an otherwise sparse region known as the Local Bubble, an hourglass-shaped region roughly 300 light-years across.

		The boundary between the solar system and interstellar space-called the heliopause-is estimated to occur near 100 AU.
		Through the end of the 1980s, this solar system was the only planetary system known to exist, although a number of relatively nearby stars had been found to be encircled by swarms of orbiting material of indeterminate size or to be accompanied by suspected brown dwarfs.

	An Overview of the Solar System
		The solar system consists of the Sun; the eight official planets, at least three "dwarf planets", more than 130 satellites of the planets, a large number of small bodies (the comets and asteroids), and the interplanetary medium.

	NASA - Voyager Enters Solar System's Final Frontier
		The termination shock is where the solar wind, a thin stream of electrically charged gas blowing continuously outward from the Sun, is slowed by pressure from gas between the stars.
		At the termination shock, the solar wind slows abruptly from its average speed of 300 to 700 km per second (700,000 - 1,500,000 miles per hour) and becomes denser and hotter.
		In July 2004 scientists used Voyagers to track a solar blast to the edges of the solar system.
