Our solar system is made up of one star - the Sun - and everything held in orbit around it. Some distant stars have been determined to have planetary objects surrounding them, too, but there is still more unknown about those than known.
If the objects are in orbit around the sun then they are in the Solar System.
Our solar system consists of the sun, the planets, their moons, and a variety of smaller objects. The sun is at the center of the solar system, with other orbiting around it. The force of gravity holds the solar system together.
