The Sol System is the home star system of Humans, Martians and Neptunians. The System's host star, Sol, is a fairly typical middle-aged yellow star that formed ca. 4.5 billion years ago. This star has a collection of 8 planets orbiting it, most with their own moons, as well as dwarf planets and an uncountable number of other, minor satellites.

In order of distance from sun
Minor Satellites
Asteroid Belt
Appearances : The Game
Description : Contains a junkyard run by Sal.
Unspecified Gas Planet's rings
Appearances : 3ACV12
Description : The rings of an unspecified planet in this system have been seen to be inhabited by humans and aliens. The Blob family live there in an area known as Maple Craters.
Giant ball of garbage
Appearances : 1ACV08
Description : In order to save New New York from a giant ball of 20th century garbage, another ball of garbage was created and launched into space. The original ball was deflected into the Sun and destroyed, but the new one remained on a long, eliptical trajectory and may threaten Earth again in the future.
Halley's Comet
Appearances : 4ACV08
Description : Halley's Comet is a comet that orbits the Sun every 75.3 years. It was subject to military operations at least once (Old Man Waterfall helped reconquer it) and was Earth's primary source of ice to combat global warming until the resources were depleted in 3003.
Monolith
Appearances : "Put Your Head on My Shoulders"
Description : A monolith in orbit around Jupiter, like the one depicted in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. It's out of order.
