Question

Name two objects other than planets which are members of the solar system.

Answer 1

Hint: The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. 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

Complete step by step answer:
Meteors and Asteroids are the two objects other than planets which are member of the solar system-
a) Meteors
Meteors are small celestial objects that are seen as bright streaks of light in the sky. Due to the heat produced by the friction of the Earth’s atmosphere, the Meteors are burnt out while entering, this causes the bright streaks in the sky. They are not planets.

b) Asteroids
The Asteroids are the collection of a huge number of small objects; gasses and dust revolving around the sun. Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, they occupy the large gap. These are not planets. They are the celestial bodies and are known as Asteroids.

Note A planet is a celestial body that is in orbit around the Sun, has sufficient mass for itself-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.
There are eight planets in the Solar System according to the IAU definition. In order of increasing distance from the Sun, they are the four terrestrials, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, then the four giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
