NO! A solar system is a star or star pair with things like planets, moons, asteroids, meteors, and dwarf planets orbiting around that star or star pair. In OUR solar system we have only one star, "The Sun".

Which figure is closest to age of the solar system?
The Solar System is about 4.5-4.6 billion years old (i.e. 4500-4600 million years old.) Because the Solar System developed gradually it's hard to be more precise than that and say exactly when it started, but solid grains first condensed out of the Solar Nebula about 4567 million years ago.
What is bigger the galaxy universe solar system?
No, the solar system is just the same give to the system of planets which orbit the Sun. There are millions of similar systems in this galaxy and there are millions of galaxies in the universe.
How can astronomers distinguish a faint solar system object like Pluto from background stars in the same field of view?
By its movement. That means that more than one observation is required - for example, comparison of photographs made on different days.
Where are stars located in outer space?
It isn't really known how large the Universe is. In the so-called "observable Universe", as a rough estimate, there are 10 to the power 11 galaxies, each of which on average has about 10 to the power 11 stars, so that gives you 10 to the power 22 stars.Light from anything outside the "observable Universe" can never reach us; anyway, it is estimated that the Universe is thousands of times larger than the observable part; it may be infinite in size, but that is not currently known for sure. (Update: 10 to the power 22 means a 1, followed by 22 zeros.)
Why are we a heliocentric solar system an not a geocentric solar system?
because heliocentric means " sun is the center of the universe" and geocentric means "earth is the center of the universe" so if you know about the solar system you should know that the sun is the center of the solar system
True or false there are more than a billion stars in your solar system?
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
Does the asteroid belt have more stars than the solar system?
The asteroid belt has no stars, the solar system one.
Is our solar system also our galaxy or is there more than one solar system in the milky way?
No, our Solar System is not the galaxy. Our Solar System is the Sun, and the planets around it (plus a few other objects, such as asteroids and comets). Our Sun (the center of our Solar System) is a star; in the galaxy there are several hundred billion stars, each of which might be called a solar system. At least if it is confirmed that it has planets - but it has already been confirmed that many stars in our neighborhood have planets.
Are there a hundered stars in the solar system?
If you mean within our own solar system, then the answer would be no; there is only one star in our solar system (the sun). Other solar systems can have more than one sun (or star) at it's centre, and are known as either binary stars (when there are two), triple stars (when there are three), etc., or simply as multiple star systems (when there are more than three).In terms of the number of stars within our own galaxy (the Milky Way galaxy), there is estimated to be anywhere from 100-400 billion stars.
What is outside of the edge of the solar system?
well outside of our solar systems is more stars and more solar systems.
Does 600 billion solar masses equal to 600 billion stars?
Not necessarily. In simplest form, 600 billion solar masses simply means that something is 600 billion times more massive than the sun, regardless of what it is. The sun is more massive than the average star, so if we are talking about stars alone, then 600 billion masses would be equivalent to more than 600 billion stars. It would also depend on what the context is. For example if a galaxy is 600 billion solar masses, much of that mass would be in interstellar gas and dust clouds in addition to stars.
What are the differences between a galaxy and a solar system?
A solar system consists of one or two stars and one or more planets. A galaxy consists of numerous stars/solar systems.
Are there more asteroids or stars?
If you mean asteroids within our Solar System, then stars. In the Universe, there will be many more asteroids than stars.
Are there more asteroids or stars in the solar system?
More asteroids by far. Our solar system contains millions of asteroids but only one star: the sun.
Why are there stars in the solar system?
While stars can be seen from within the solar system, there are no stars other than the sun contained within the solar system. The star system nearest to Earth, Alpha Centauri, is about 4.4 light-years (4.16 x 10^13 km) away from the sun. By way of comparison, Pluto, no longer considered a planet but useful in gauging the boundaries of the solar system, is about 7.4 billion kilometers from the sun at the farthest point in its orbit (aphelion). (Another measure is the termination shock, where the sun's influence drops off, which is believed to be up to 13.5 billion kilometers away from the sun. Alpha Centauri is some 3,000 times more distant.)
There are planets in the universe?
Yes. There are 8 planets in our own solar system and more than 2,000 that have been discovered so far orbiting other stars. It is estimated that out galaxy alone contains 100 billion to 400 billion planets.
Is the sun just one of stars that make up your solar system?
OUR solar system has only one star, but there are other solar systems which have more than one
