The solar system consists of the sun and the celestial bodies bound in orbit around it by the force of gravity.^[1] This includes the nine planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), their moons, and various other objects, such as asteroids and comets.^[1]

In 1995, Professor Trelawney showed her fourth-year Divination class a magical model of the solar system, complete with a "fiery sun" surrounded by the nine planets and their moons, all suspended under a glass dome.^[2]
