Our Sun is mostly surrounded by space; but planets in the solar system do orbit the Sun (or more correctly, a common center of gravity near the Sun), so in a loose sense planets are around the Sun or move around it.

What did the planets in our solar system form from?
Planets can be formed from nebular gases and dusts around a protostar or from the cooling of small stars.
Why do planets orbit the sun at different distances?
The planets formed from a disk of gas and dust that surrounded the sun as it formed. This gas and dust clumped together to form the solar system. Two planets cannot occupy orbits that are too close together. If they do, interactions through gravity will either cause them to collide or get moved to different orbits.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
How does the sun hold the planets in orbit?
The Sun's gravity is trying to pull the planets towards it. But the planets have their own velocities and all the Sun's gravitational attraction is needed to stop the planets moving away from the Sun. The result is that the planets orbit the Sun.
What happens if the planets stops orbiting the sun?
The planets will fall into the sun and get destroyed.
What planets always surrounded the moon?
Moons are not surrounded by planets, planets are surrounded (orbited) by moons.
What did Aristotle think of the universe?
Aristotle thought the earth was at the center and the sun surrounded the earth.including the planets and moons.
What did the planets in our solar system form from?
Planets can be formed from nebular gases and dusts around a protostar or from the cooling of small stars.
Is the sun at the center of your solar system?
Yes, it is , it is the main source in the Solar System , surrounded by the Other 9 Planets
What did our solar system evolve?
It eveolved into a sun, at the centre, surrounded by a number of planets and dwarf planets (some with their own satellites), as well as asteroids, comets, meteoroids and "dust".
Why do you call sun as a star?
To my knowledge, the stars have their own energy and they will be generally surrounded by some planets. So SUN falls in this category. It has its own source of energy.
Is planetary nebulae surrounded by planets?
no
Is a planetary nebulae surrounded by planets?
no
How are planets closest to the sun different from the planets that are farther away?
The planets that are closest to the sun get more heat than the ones more farther away. The four inner planets are dense and rocky. The four other planets have small solid cores surrounded by vast atmospheres. The four inner planets have one significant satellite among them (the moon), while each of the outer planets has many satellites. The four inner planets are small, while the outer planets are massive.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
Does the sun travel around the planets or do the planets travel around the sun?
The planets travel around the sun.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
