Then on the Kuiper Belt there are lots of comets. Then the scattered disk has lots of stars and minor planets. At the very edge of our solar system is the heliosphere which is a magnetic bubble that forms the outer edge of our solar system. There are are more than 3,350 known comets in our solar system. The Solar System seems like a big place but it's just a tiny corner of the milky way galaxy.The asteroid belt is beetween Mars and Jupiter.
