Final answer:

In the solar system, we do not have 'hot Jupiters' or 'Super-Earths.' We do have moons, an asteroid belt, dwarf planets, the hypothetical Oort Cloud, ice giants like Uranus and Neptune, and gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn.

Step-by-step explanation:

In our solar system, we have a variety of celestial bodies, including eight planets, dwarf planets, moons, an asteroid belt, and the gas and ice giants like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. However, there are certain types of exoplanets and celestial phenomena that we do not have.

  • Hot Jupiters - These are gas giant planets that orbit very close to their stars, much closer than any of the gas giants in our solar system.
  • Super-Earths - These are rocky planets with a mass larger than Earth's but smaller than that of the ice giants Uranus and Neptune, which we do not have in our solar system.

On the other hand, we do have:

  • Moon(s) - Nearly 200 known moons orbiting the planets in our solar system.
  • Asteroid Belt - A region of rocky and metallic objects primarily located between Mars and Jupiter.
  • Dwarf Planet(s) - Including Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake, located in the Kuiper Belt and beyond.
  • Oort Cloud - A hypothesized extensive sphere of icy objects surrounding the solar system, which acts as the source for long-period comets.
  • Ice Giant Planet(s) - Uranus and Neptune, composed mostly of gases and liquids, are categorized as ice giants.
  • Gas Giant Planet(s) - Jupiter and Saturn, the larger planets in our solar system composed mainly of hydrogen and helium.
