Is the system of planets and other objects orbiting around our sun a good definition for the solar system?

Yes, that would be a good explanation for it.

What is a group of stars and the planets and other objects orbiting around it?
Solar system
Why are the planets considered satellites?
Planets are not satellites. The definition of satellite is any celestial body orbiting around a planet or star.
What planets are there around the Earth?
There are no planets orbiting Earth.
Which planet has the most suns orbiting around it?
Planets do not have suns orbiting around them. Suns have planets orbiting around them. The planet in our solar system with the highest number of discovered moons orbiting around it is Jupiter, with over 100.
Is our sun the only star that has planets orbiting around it?
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
What is the shape of the planets orbiting around the sun?
An ellipse.
Does Planet Earth have small planets around it?
No. There are no planets orbiting Earth.The Moon is not a planet.
How do you xxplain What is solar system?
Solar relates to the sun. The sun is a star. A solar system is a star that has planets and other celestial objects orbiting around it in an ordered manner.
What is the name of objects that revolve around planets?
Objects that are in orbit around planets are commonly called satellites
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.
Does the sun have a moon?
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
