Within these populations, some objects are large enough to have rounded under their own gravity, though there is considerable debate as to how many there will prove to be.
Such objects are categorized as dwarf planets.
Astronomers generally accept at least nine objects as dwarf planets: the asteroid Ceres and the trans-Neptunian objects Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Gonggong, Quaoar, Sedna, and Orcus.
In addition to these two regions, various other small-body populations, including comets, centaurs and interplanetary dust clouds, freely travel between regions.
Six of the planets, the six largest possible dwarf planets, and many of the smaller bodies are orbited by natural satellites, usually termed "moons" after the Moon.
Each of the outer planets is encircled by planetary rings of dust and other small objects.
The solar wind, a stream of charged particles flowing outwards from the Sun, creates a bubble-like region in the interstellar medium known as the heliosphere.
The heliopause is the point at which pressure from the solar wind is equal to the opposing pressure of the interstellar medium; it extends out to the edge of the scattered disc.
The Oort cloud, which is thought to be the source for long-period comets, may also exist at a distance roughly a thousand times further than the heliosphere.
The Solar System is located 26,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way galaxy in the Orion Arm, which contains most of the visible stars in the night sky.
The nearest stars are within the so-called Local Bubble, with the closest, Proxima Centauri, at 4.25 light-years.
