  The  Solar System  is the  gravitationally bound  system of the  Sun  and the objects that  orbit  it.   It was  formed about 4.6 billion years ago  when a dense region of a  molecular cloud  collapsed, forming the Sun and a  protoplanetary disc . The Sun is a typical star that maintains a  balanced equilibrium  by the  fusion  of hydrogen into helium at its  core , releasing this energy from its outer  photosphere . Astronomers  classify  it as a  G-type main-sequence star . The Solar  System  Consists of  the  sun and the Planets.  Mecury , Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune.  Pluto  is a dwarf  planet.
