*[Primary]: Primary member of a system is the brightest one (and, in most cases, also the most massive one).
*[rest]: 8 planets; over 1,100,000 minor planets (including 5 dwarf planets); over 5000 comets; 206 moons of planets; over 200 moons of minor planets (including 9 moons of dwarf planets); bodies of planetary rings (mostly were observed rings, not separate bodies, but over 150 moonlets were observed); numerous small bodies, observed as meteors and meteorites, but not catalogued as minor planets or comets; spacecraft; space debris; cosmonauts. Some known comets and spacecrafts, currently located within Solar System boundaries, are not gravitationally bound with the Sun, and therefore formally are separate (interstellar) objects.
