The solar system is the gravitationally bound system of the sun and the objects that orbit it either directly or indirectly.

The position of the planets moons and spacecraft are shown where they are right now.
This simulated view of our solar system runs on real data.
Neptune is very similar to uranus.

This digital orrery a model of the solar system runs on a light mobile mobile friendly version of nasa s eyes on the solar system software.

Of the objects that orbit the sun directly the largest are the eight planets with the remainder being smaller objects the dwarf planets and small solar system bodies of the objects that orbit the sun indirectly the moons two are larger than the smallest planet.
Neptune is the eighth and farthest known solar planet from the sun in the solar system it is the fourth largest planet by diameter the third most massive planet and the densest giant planet it is 17 times the mass of earth slightly more massive than its near twin uranus neptune is denser and physically smaller than uranus because its greater mass causes more gravitational compression of.
It s more than 30 times as far from the sun as earth is.
It s made of a thick soup of water ammonia and methane over an earth sized solid center.
