Meanings

Any planet of the Solar System whose orbit is located beyond the asteroid belt, i.e., any of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune.
Voyager shattered the dogma that the worlds of the outer solar system had been shaped by similar, predictable, and rather uninteresting processes. […] From our post-Voyager perspective, it is truly astounding how very little we knew about the outer planets when we started.
