There is no such privileged point in the Universe. You might say it is; but then, ANY other point is also the center of the Universe. Or it looks that way.
False. The solar system is just one of many solar systems in the universe, which contains billions of galaxies, each with its own stars and planetary systems. The universe is vast and includes a multitude of celestial bodies and structures beyond our solar system.
The statement that is true about the sun is A: the sun is at the center of the solar system. The sun is indeed at the center of our solar system, around which all planets, including Earth, revolve. It is not at the center of the entire universe, and the idea that the sun revolves around Earth and Earth's moon is a misconception.
Our Sun and the planet Earth (Along with all the other planets and other stellar stuff) comprise the Solar System. Our Solar System is part of the Milky Way Galaxy.See related question for our position in the Galaxy
False. The Milky Way Galaxy, our Solar System and the Universe itself are composed of a mixture of known and unknown elements, and light & dark matter. By definition this makes the Milky Way, and the Universe heterogeneous by definition.
False. The Earth is located in a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way, not the "Mickey Way". The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that contains our solar system.

TRUE!!!! All the planets in the Solar system including Earth orbit the Sun, in ellipses. The Sun lies at one of the foci of these ellipses, NOT the centre. So the Sun is NOT at the 'dead' centre of the Solar system.
Dang i forgot sorry guys :(
well, there is only one star in OUR solar system, we call it the sun; but there are about 100 BILLION stars in the milky way galaxy, of which our solar system is a part of
FALSE. The outer edge of the "Oort Cloud" of comets marks the end of the Solar System.
The question says that there is an object that's in the solar system that's outside the solar system for half the time. That's a lot like the statement that states: "This statement is false."

Generally speaking people thought the earth was central in the entire universe. This was proven wrong many times, most important proofs were: - Proof that the earth is not central in the solar system - Proof that the earth is not central in the galaxy - proof that the galaxy is not central in the universe
Gas giants do not have atmosphere because if it did our solar system would not be like it is now. So the answer is false.
False!!!! The ancients of Greece and Rome and earlier thought the Earth (Terrestium) was the centre of the universe. However, a Polish astronomer named Nicolaus Copernicus, showed that the Sun was the centre of the known system of the day. He published in 1543, his work on the Heliocentric system, ; 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium' ( On the Revolution of Heavenly Spheres.). It deduced : - #1 The Earth is one of several planets revolving around a stationary sun in a determined order. #2 The Earth has three motions: daily rotation, annual revolution, and annual tilting of its axis. #3 Retrograde motion of the planets is explained by the Earth's motion. #4 The distance from the Earth to the Sun is small compared to the distance from the Sun to the stars.
False. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, constituting about 75% of its elemental mass.
