An extrasolar object (Template:Ety) is an astronomical object that exists outside the Solar System. It is not applied to stars, or any other celestial object that is larger than a star or the Solar System, such as a galaxy. The terms for extrasolar examples of Solar System bodies are:
- Extrasolar planet, also called an "exoplanet"
- Extrasolar moon, also called an "exomoon"
- Exocomet, an extrasolar comet
- Exoasteroid, an extrasolar asteroid
Some Solar System object classes, such as minor planets, dwarf planets and Trans-Neptunian objects have not been detected outside the Solar System.
