- Most of us have studied at our school and college level that the solar system carries 9 planets but in 2006, International Astronomical Union revealed that Pluto is not a planet and solar system carries only 8 planets. The reason might be because Pluto is just a fraction of mass of its orbit while the other planets are many times massive than the masses in their objects.
- Uranus is the only planet of solar system which lies to its side and no one has yet been able to provide a solid description of this thing.

- The age of this solar system was also calculated by scientists and astronauts and according to them this glorious system is 5 billion years old.
- The largest planet of this solar system is Jupiter and it is also the fastest one as well, it completes its one rotation around the sun in 9 hours and 55 minutes.
- Pluto is also referred to as dwarf planet because it is the smallest one of all the other planets of solar system.
