Our solar system is apart of the Milky Way galaxy and consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity — the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, dwarf planets such as Pluto, dozens of moons and millions of asteroids, comets and meteoroids. All those objects in our solar system are held in orbit around the sun by its gravitational pull on them. The solar system appears to have formed from a disk of dust and gas, drawn together by gravity.

Which of these planets is the farthest from the sun? (Hint: Pluto is considered a dwarf planet)
