    In the early days, only a very limited number of features could be seen on other Solar System bodies other than the Moon. Craters on the Moon could be observed with even some of the earliest telescopes, and 19th-century telescopes could make out some features on Mars. Jupiter had its famous Great Red Spot, also visible through early telescopes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System

    The Solar System remains in a relatively stable, slowly evolving state by following isolated, gravitationally bound orbits around the Sun. [28] Although the Solar System has been fairly stable for billions of years, it is technically chaotic, and may eventually be disrupted. There is a small chance that another star will pass through the Solar ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_mnemonic

    A planetary mnemonic refers to a phrase created to remember the planets and dwarf planets of the Solar System, with the order of words corresponding to increasing sidereal periods of the bodies. One simple visual mnemonic is to hold out both hands side-by-side with thumbs in the same direction (typically left-hand facing palm down, and right ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System_belts

    Solar System belts are asteroid and comet belts that orbit the Sun in the Solar System in interplanetary space. [1] [2] The Solar System belts' size and placement are mostly a result of the Solar System having four giant planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune far from the sun. The giant planets must be in the correct place, not too close ...

    In modern academic writing, the Sun symbol is used for astronomical constants relating to the Sun. [10] T eff☉ represents the solar effective temperature, and the luminosity, mass, and radius of stars are often represented using the corresponding solar constants (L ☉, M ☉, and R ☉, respectively) as units of measurement.

  9. Hale's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hale's_law

    In solar physics, Hale's law, also known as Hale's polarity law or the Hale–Nicholson law, is an empirical law for the orientation of magnetic fields in solar active regions. It applies to simple active regions that have bipolar magnetic field configurations where one magnetic polarity is leading with respect to the direction of solar rotation.
