No, the solar system is not a atom. Atoms make up things around you and are very, very small.

Atom and solar system equal?
The atom and the solar system are not equal. The solar system contains the sun and the other planets.
An atom is often represented as a miniature what?
solar system
What was Bohr's Simily for the atom?
Bohr likened the atom to the solar system with the Sun as the nucleus and the electrons as the planets.
How is the solar system similar to the bohr?
The Bohr model describes an atom as having a central nucleus where most of the mass is concentrated, around which electrons orbited at discrete distances, somewhat like the solar system with the sun where the atom's nucleus would be (and again, most of the mass) and the planets orbiting it. In an atom, electrostatic forces attract the electrons to the nucleus; in the solar system, gravity is the binding force.
What does bohrs model of the atom look like?
The Bohr atomic model is similar to solar system.
What is the smallest member of the solar system?
The smallest member of the Solar System is a dust grain such as a micro-meteoroid. Or if you want to get a lot smaller, then a hydrogen atom. Even smaller, a neutrino from the Sun.
What was the understanding of the atom before this discovery of Werner Heisenberg?
In general it was thought to be a sort of mini-solar system.
What does Bohr's model of the atom resemble the most?
It is nicknamed the "planetary Model" because it resembles the solar system.
What is the smallest in our solar system?
The smallest thing you could imagine - a dust grain, a molecule, an atom, a quark.
How do you describe a physical model of an atom?
It is similar to a solar system. The sun is the nucleus with protons and neutrons and the electrons are the planets.
What is most of the atom by volume?
By volume, atoms consist mainly of nothing. Zip, zero, empty space. An atom is much like our solar system, with tiny planets (like electrons) orbiting above a dense core. In between, much like in our solar system, is nothing but empty space.
What best describes the nucleus of an atom?
It’s the most massive part of the atom
