I didn't write this I used caktus AI

Step-by-step explanation:

The main heavenly bodies that make up the solar system are:

1. Sun - the star at the center of the solar system, around which all the planets orbit.

2. Planets - there are eight planets in the solar system in order from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

3. Dwarf planets - smaller celestial bodies, similar to planets but not large enough to have cleared their orbital region of other debris. The solar system has five recognized dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.

4. Moons - natural satellites that orbit planets and dwarf planets.

5. Asteroids - small, rocky bodies that orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

6. Comets - icy bodies that originate from the outer solar system and travel in long elliptical orbits around the Sun.

7. Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) - similar to asteroids, these small bodies are found beyond the orbit of Neptune in the Kuiper Belt.

8. Oort Cloud Objects - these are believed to be icy bodies located far beyond the Kuiper Belt in the outer reaches of the solar system.
