7、For more than 300 years, we thought Saturn was the only body in thesolar system with rings.(在300多年的时间里，我们一直认为土星是太阳系唯一拥有光环的天体。)
8、The orderly nature of oursolar system leads most astronomers to conclude that the planets formed at essentially the same time and from the same material as the Sun.(我们太阳系的有序特性使大多数天文学家得出结论，这些行星基本上在同一时间形成，且物质来源和太阳的一样。)
9、Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Those are the gas giants, the four heavyweights of thesolar system. But was there once a fifth?(木星、土星、天王星和海王星。这些都是气体行星，是太阳系的四个重量级。但曾经存在第五个行星吗？)

14、The goal was to measure the AU; then, knowing the orbital speeds of all the other planets around the Sun, the scale of thesolar system would fall into place.(目标是测量AU；随后，当我们知道了所有围绕太阳的其他行星的轨道速度，对太阳系的规模就有充分的认识了。)
15、Of course, we now know that the planets, including Earth, revolve around the Sun, and that thesolar system is only a tiny part of the universe.(当然，我们现在知道，包括地球在内的行星都围绕太阳公转，而太阳系只是宇宙的一小部分。)
16、Far from the sun, in the outersolar system, beyond Jupiter's orbit, temperatures are low enough to permit ices to form out of water and out of gases like methane and carbon dioxide.(在远离太阳的外太阳系，在木星轨道之外，温度低到足以使冰从水以及甲烷和二氧化碳等气体中形成。)

18、The Moon's spin and tilt are unique among other planetary bodies in thesolar system.(月球的自转和倾斜在太阳系的其他行星体中是独一无二的。)
19、Second, Jupiter's enormous mass prevents most Sun-bound comets from penetrating the innersolar system.(其次，木星的巨大质量阻止了大多数与太阳结合的彗星穿透太阳系内部。)
20、Saturn is the second biggest planet in thesolar system.(土星是太阳系的第二大的行星。)
21、The nearly circular orbits of planets in oursolar system led scientists to expect that planets around other stars would also reside in circular orbits.(在我们的太阳系中，行星的轨道几乎是圆形的，这使得科学家们预测，其他恒星周围的行星也会位于圆形轨道上。)
22、An estimated 99.85 percent of the mass of oursolar system is contained within the Sun, while the planets collectively make up most of the remaining 0.15 percent.(太阳占据了太阳系总质量的大约99.85%，而在剩余的0.15%中，行星占据了大部分。)
23、Instead of normal planets whose composition could be predicted by theory, the planets populating oursolar system are unique individuals whose chemical and tectonic identities were create.(我们的太阳系中的行星不是那些可以通过理论预测其组成的普通行星，而是独特的个体，它们的化学和构造特征都是由它们创造的。)
24、Complex life evolved on the Earth's surface, but not on Mars or other planets in thesolar system because on those planets, early surface life was killed by UV radiation.(复杂的生命在地球表面进化，而不是在火星或太阳系的其他行星上，因为在那些行星上，早期的地表生命被紫外线杀死了。)
25、If we want to survive as a species, we have to expand into thesolar system and likely beyond.(如果我们希望作为一个物种生存下去，就必须扩张到太阳系之中或超越太阳系。)
26、In Astronomy, for example, the distinction between thesolar system and the universe wasn't clear until modern times.(例如，在天文学中，太阳系和宇宙两者的区别直到现代才被弄清楚。)
