The sun (which is a star) and all the objects that orbit it compose the solar system in which we exist. A solar system is defined as a central star (or stars: many stars exist in pairs, unlike the solitary sun) orbited by planets and other objects such as rocky meteors and icy comets. This particular solar system houses the central sun (6000 degrees Celsius upon the surface and 15 000 000 degrees Celsius in the core) and 8 planets in orbit. The planets are rocky dwarfs or gas giants. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the rocky dwarfs, while Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are gas giants. Many of the planets have moons. Earth has one moon, Mars has two, Jupiter has 64, Saturn has 56, Uranus has 27 and Neptune has 13. Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter feature billions of meteors, irregular chunks of rock unable to coalesce into a sphere (a planet) by the pull of nearby gravities, for example that of Jupiter. Beyond the orbit of Neptune orbit Kuiper Belt objects and Dwarf Planets. Pluto, which has 4 moons and is smaller than Earth's moon and Mercury, was demoted recently to the status of 'Dwarf Planet'. Other Dwarf Planets have been discovered, so Pluto is not alone in this category. Examples of Dwarf Planets are Sedna and Quaoar. While Earth is 150 000 000 kilometres from the sun on average, Pluto is 5900 000 000 kilometres from the sun on average and Sedna may be as far as 17 000 000 000 kilometres from the sun. The solar system does not end there. The Opik-Oort cloud is a hypothetical cloud of icy or rocky comets that orbit somewhere between 1 and 2 light years (where a light year is the distance light travels in one year - light travels at 300 000 kilometres per second) from the sun. There is another unit used in astronomy, the Astronomical Unit. 1 Astronomical Unit is the distance from the sun to the Earth. On this scale, the Opik-Oort cloud is about 50 000 Astronomical Units from the sun.

The Sun and everything that orbits around it is called the Solar System. That includes Mercury, Venus, Eath, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, the Asteroid Belt, the Sun, of course the moons, and a couple of dwarf planets such as Pluto. Dont forget meteors, comets, and asteroids!

The system shere all objects orbit around the sun is called rotating. Rotating means to move around its surface, phhotosphere, or the outside of an object.

The Sun (which is 99.5% of all the mass in our solar system) orbits the center of the galaxy. We believe that this takes between 220 million and 250 million years per orbit.

It is called the geo-centric model, and the currently held system is the heliocentric model.

Asteroids and comets are the major threats. Scientists are fairly certain that life on Earth has been ALMOST wiped out at least four times by asteroid or comet impacts.
