Question

select the statement(s) that accurately describe planetary systems. every star in the universe makes a planetary system. the planetary system that has earth in it is the only one called the solar system. the planets that orbit a star comprise a planetary system. there can be other objects such as moons and dwarf planets in planetary systems. the universe is inside a planetary system.

Explanation:

• Not every star has planets to form a planetary system, so the first statement is false.
• The solar - system is the name for the planetary system with Earth, and it is unique in that name, so the second statement is true.
• By definition, planets orbiting a star make up a planetary system, so the third statement is true.
• Planetary systems can have moons, dwarf planets, and other objects besides planets, so the fourth statement is true.
• The universe is much larger than a planetary system, and a planetary system is inside the universe, not the other way around, so the fifth statement is false.

Answer:

The planetary system that has Earth in it is the only one called the solar system.
The planets that orbit a star comprise a planetary system.
There can be other objects such as moons and dwarf planets in planetary systems.
