Where Does the Solar System End?

The video explores the complex question of where the solar system ends. It discusses two main ways to define the solar system's boundary: gravitational influence, which extends to the Oort cloud, and solar radiation influence, marked by the heliopause. Voyager 1's journey is used to illustrate these concepts, highlighting that while it has entered interstellar space, it hasn't left the solar system by all definitions. The video concludes with a note on Voyager's ongoing journey and a call to support SciShow.
