The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun
and the objects that orbit it.
Of the bodies that orbit the Sun directly, the largest
are the four gas and ice giants and the four terrestrial planets, followed
by an unknown number of dwarf planets and innumerable small Solar System
bodies.
Of the bodies that orbit the Sun indirectly - the natural satellites - two
are larger than Mercury, the smallest terrestrial planet, and one is
nearly as large.
