The solar system contains only ONE star - Our Sun.
---
I think you may be thinking of Galaxies - our own being the Milky Way, which contain anything from 10 million to a trillion stars.
The Solar System is (as the name tells you) the system of objects around the star Sol which is the name of our Sun. The Solar system includes the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and the dwarf planets Pluto, Makemake,Ceres, Eris and Hawmea (with loads more to follow probably). There are also a couple of asteroid belts between planets and the solar system ends with the Kuiper Belt which has a whole load of probable dwarf planets, rocks, ice etc in a donut shape about 30-55AU from the Sun.
Further out there is a cloud of comets and rocks called the Oort cloud which is about a quarter of the way to the nearest star (1ly) which is the last thing that could be considered part of the Solar System.
1 ly is a Light year, the distance light can travel in a year - about 9,000,000,000,000 km
1 AU is the distance from the Earth to the Sun (about 8 light minutes)
Feeling small yet? The universe is a big place!
