Best Answer

It has the eight planets and a host of asteroids and cometary bodies. But no, our sun is essentially a solitary star. Stars with companions are known as binary stars, or trinaries, etc.

What is the binary star hypothesis?

This hypothesis was proposed by Lyttleon in 1938. Before the formation of planets, the sun had a companion star. Another star approached close to these double stars and dragged the companion star away. A gaseous filament was torn from the companion star and it remained close to the sun.The planets were originated from this gaseous filament in the same way as described in the gaseous tidal hypothesis.
