I know our solar system is part of the milky way. does our sol.sys have a specific name?

Answer 1

"Solar" takes reference to our Sun.

The solar system is the stellar system comprising the Sun and the retinue of celestial objects gravitationally bound to it: the eight planets, their 162 known moons, and 3 dwarf planets and their 4 known moons. The solar system also contains other celestial objects including asteroids, meteoroids, planetoids, comets, and interplanetary dust.

From 1930 to 2006, the system comprised nine official planets, but when the definition of planet was changed on August 24, 2006 by the IAU, Pluto's status was changed to that of a "dwarf planet", thus reducing the number to eight.

Answer 2

Solar systems are named after their stars. Ours is called Sol, so the system is called the Sol System.

'Sol was the name or personification of the Sun (in Latin), and can also refer to sunlight, sunbeam, or east (the direction where the Sun rises). The Latin name is widely known, but not common in general English language usage, although the related adjective solar is more common. 'Sol' is more frequently used in science fiction writing, as a formal name for the specific star, since in many stories the local sun is a different star and thus the generic term "the sun" would be ambiguous. By extension, the Solar System is often referred to in science fiction as the "Sol System".'

Answer 3

Q: Does our solar system have a name? Does our moon have a name? Does our sun have a name?
A: No. No. No. Sorry. They should. But they don't. At least not in English. There are, of course, many words used to refer to the Sun and the Moon in other languages. "Sol" and "Luna" are often thought of as proper names but they're really Latin, not English. So far there hasn't been a need for anything more. Maybe when we start living on other places besides the Earth.

Answer 4

Nope, it's just called the Solar System. Sol is another word for Sun.

Answer 5

sure ... we already have the technologies surely. SETi is finding hundreds of thousands of radio frequencies concurrently in the present day, so if an clever sign is detected, we will a minimum of understand some thing accessible is transmitting. We additionally, in the present day, have telescopes able to shooting the completed spectrum of light from our very own neighboring planets besides as distant which permits us to precisely degree the climate and chemical makeup of those worlds. that's purely a count number of time earlier we are able to image yet another structures planets without delay (however distant planets do no longer shine, so we elect greater efficient telescopes). So ... the seek is on suitable now.

Answer 6

Answer 7

no. It should but it doesn't. However there are many words that refer to our sun and moon. "Sol" is sun and "luna" is moon. "Sol" and "Luna" are often thought of as proper names but they're really Latin, not English.
