Who was the first astronomer that discovered the solar system?
How exactly do you "discover the Solar System", considering that it is in plain sight? - The Sun, Moon, and planets were already visible to prehistorical people. The Ancient Greeks noticed that the planets moved around the Sun. You may also want to investigate about "heliocentric system" - i.e., the idea that the Sun is at the center, and that the planets move around it.
What is the number of planets that are in our solar system?
Out solar system has 8 planets:MercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneIf you still want to count Pluto, it would be 9 planets.

What was Galileo's theory on our solar system about?
That it wasn't the earth that was the center of the solar system but the sun. He tried to explain his theory to the catholic churches but they didn't want to hear it for they didn't like his theory. This caused a contradiction and Galileo was sent to house arrest. He had to publicly say that he was wrong. But Galileo knew he was right and until the day he died he never had a doubt. It was much later that he was proven right.
What is the name of our solar system's star?
There is only one star in the solar system - it is the Sun.
What do alien's from the solar system look like?
There are "aliens" in the solar system... as long as you're not referring to little green men that want to suck out our brains, they would be microscopic organisms living in icy objects in the solar system, I'm pretty sure.
What is the smallest member of the solar system?
The smallest member of the Solar System is a dust grain such as a micro-meteoroid. Or if you want to get a lot smaller, then a hydrogen atom. Even smaller, a neutrino from the Sun.
Why are we exploring the solar system?
To find whats in it. We are exploring the solar system to gain knowledge about it's contents. Many scientists are intrigued by the solar system and it's many planets and stars, therefore want to learn more about them.
What were some of Galileo's obstacles?
His Father, for he didn't want Galileo to major in mathmatics, but to major in medicine instead.
How do you explore the solar system?
There are a lot of ways to explore the solar system. Some people, like NASA, see the solar system in stars by the Hubble Telescope satellite. But that satellite only checks the Earth. In order to explore the whole solar system, you must travel to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (Pluto is not considered as a planet in the solar system in this answer). If you want, you can also explore Venus and Mercury. But you cannot land on Mercury, especially on Venus (the hottest planet in the solar system). So now astronomers/astronauts only explore Mars - Neptune.
What does the solar system do?
A curious question.Generally speaking, in and of itself, the Solar System doesn't DO anything except that it resides in a particular location in space. The Solar System is rather a place than a thing. The Solar System is a location where exists a group pf planets, (9 if you still think of Pluto as a planet, 8 if not) planetesimals, asteroids, comets, and our local star resides.As a group of the above named items as well as all the other stuff, the Solar system has a gravitational effect in it's local, galactic neighborhood.Perhaps you could refine your question, What is it you want to know about the Solar System.
