... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... If you thought our tour of the solar system ended with Neptune and Pluto, you are setting your sights way too low. The planets of the solar system mark time relatively close to the Sun compared to interstellar space. Pluto orbits the Sun at an average distance 40 times that of the Earth, yet the nearest star (the Alpha Centauri system) to the solar system is a mind-numbing 260,000 times the distance of the Earth to the Sun. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...
