It notes the organized orbits of most objects and mentions anomalies such as Earth's large moon, Uranus's tilt, and Venus's retrograde rotation, which challenge expected patterns.

These bodies are smaller than planets and have distinct orbits. It also mentions minor planets, a specific subset encompassing dwarf planets, centaurs, and trans-Neptunian objects, formed from remnants of the solar nebula.
