What consists of a star and all of the bodies in orbit around it?

A star and all the objects (planets, moons, asteroids, etc.) that orbit it make up a solar system within a galaxy. The star provides light and heat to its orbiting bodies, influencing their formation and evolution through gravitational interactions. Our own solar system, for example, consists of the Sun and all the planets, moons, comets, and asteroids that orbit it.


Why are moons and planets different?

Planets are bodies that orbit a central star (in our case, the Sun), and moons are smaller bodies that orbit planets.
