If you're asking WHY the solar system is called that, it is because the sun (solar) is the center object controlling the orbits of the individual planets.

As to the meaning of life, or why it exists, well, let's just say God plays billards alot!

Solar means "of or pertaining to the sun". The solar system is called that because all the planets revolve around the sun. It is the soul of our system. (so think soul-ar system...ha ha ha.)

The word 'solar' comes from the fact that all all solar systems contain a sun & the word 'system' comes from its planetary system. All solar systems go with this definition.
