Various studies have been conducted on the characteristics and nature of the solar system. The advancement in the field of physics has facilitated the research on the Universe. The paper highlights this relationship between physics and the application of the theories on the understanding of the solar system.
The solar system is a broad area of study. So far human's reach has remained on the galaxy way, but, the need of going beyond has always been there. Studies tell that the solar system was formed due to the collapse of planets and stars. The gaseous form of these objects took the shape of solid, rocky planets. From then on, thousands of stars and planets are formed and destroyed continuously. To understand these changes in the universe, human being has been curious for thousands of years. The modern astronomy is the result of advancement in the early astronomical studies. Galileo, Aristotle, Newton and Einstein are the renowned names in the history of physics and contribution in the astronomical advancements. Their theories and observations are interrelated; however, Einstein's experiments turned out to be accurate according to the modern researches on solar system.
One of the significant and concrete facts is the continuous decay and development of the solar system. Humans do not know yet how many solar systems could exist in the universe. The fact that Milky Way is not sustainable and will face destruction is unavoidable. The scientists are trying to anticipate the possible future of earth with respect to the solar system. However, the good news is that. For a couple more billion years, humans can enjoy life on the green planet, if the sustainability practices are applied. No doubt the wrath of nature cannot be stopped.

The Solar System
Introduction
The solar system remained a mystery for millions of years before the humans invested methods and technology to explore it. The topic still seems mysterious, because we are yet unknown about the enigmas of the vast space. This mystery creates interest in carrying out researches and exploration about the solar system. This paper highlights information about the formation, evolution and exploration of the solar system. By studying the planets and their formation, one can understand how the concepts of physics apply to the solar system. Astronomical study is also significant to accurately analyze the past and possible future of planet earth. Besides, the information contained about the galaxy and the universe is interesting due to the mysteries it holds.
