Our Solar System!
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 Sun is a ball of incandescent gas that serves as the giver of life to our planet. The objects around the star are called planets.
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.
That is called the "Solar System".

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.
This is known collectively as the solar system.
Planets revolve around Stars. The planets in our Solar system (the Earth, etc.) revolve around the Sun.
The Heliocentric Theory is the theory that states the Sun is the center of the Solar System and all other celestial objects revolve around it. Supporting observations about the theory were by Galileo Galilei.
Our solar system consists of the sun, the planets, their moons, and a variety of smaller objects. The sun is at the center of the solar system, with other orbiting around it. The force of gravity holds the solar system together.
Well, there's the entirety of the ASTEROID BELT. Yes they do revolve around the Sun. Every thing in our solar system does, except for the moons, they revolve around planets.
Just as the Sun is in the center of our solar system and all the planets revolve around it, so Jupiter is in the center of its own system of moons, and all the moons revolve around Jupiter.
Just as the sun and all the objects which revolve around it is called the solar system, so is some other star and all the objects that revolve around it called a stellar system.
No
the earth
because of GRAVITY
Geocentricism is the belief that the Earth is the center of the Universe and all other celestial objects revolve around it. (The Geocentric Theory)
In our solar system, eight known planets revolve or orbit around the Sun (as do a lot of other objects, dwarf or minor planets, asteroids, comets, and so forth).
The only natural object we know of that does that is the earth's moon.
yes
Due to the gravitational pull towards the sun, fron when the solar system was born in a solar nebula.
They revolve around the sun.
None of them. To be part of the "solar system" you have to revolve around the Sun.
Planets revolve around Stars. The planets in our Solar system (the Earth, etc.) revolve around the Sun.
