Everything is mostly space. The diameter of the sun is 865 thousand miles, which is a bit under a million. The radius of the earth's orbit is 93 million miles, almost 100 million. Sedna, which isn't even outside the solar system, orbits 900 times as far (currently).

Where does the sun's flares mostly emit?
solar system
How is it possible for atoms to be composed of mostly empty space?
Think of it as the planets being the electrons: Earth, Venus, Mars etc.... and the Sun being the nucleus. The size of the Sun and planets relative to the empty space in the solar system is small. It's the same kind of idea with atoms.
What is a substance that makes up most of the solar system?
Most of our solar system is made up of hydrogen.
What hobby or science is a telescope used in?
Telescopes are used mostly to explore our solar system.
What is most of the atom by volume?
By volume, atoms consist mainly of nothing. Zip, zero, empty space. An atom is much like our solar system, with tiny planets (like electrons) orbiting above a dense core. In between, much like in our solar system, is nothing but empty space.
What is the name of the corridoor through which solar system moves?
There is no special "corridor", there is more or less empty space all around. You might talk about the orbit of the Solar System around the galactic center.
Is the solar system very crowded?
The solar system is not crowded. There is a huge amount of empty space between planets.
What fills most of the size of the solar system?
Empty space.
Where does the sun's flares mostly emit?
solar system
Which is more compact a planet or solar system?
A planet is more compact. A solar system contains a star, several planets, and a bunch of empty space in between.
Where is comets mostly found?
In the outer realms of the solar system.
What is the force that causes the formation of the solar system?
Gravity mostly

What are the planets in your solar system's atmosphere?
The solar system doesn't have an atmosphere, it occupies a piece of space which is an empty vacuum. Each planet may have its own atmosphere, a layer of gas at the surface.
Why is the solar system black yet the sun shines?
The reason the remainder of the observable solar system appears black despite the highly luminous star at its center can be attributed to the properties of electromagnetic radiation, which continues to propagate outward in all directions in empty space until interrupted by a body which might scatter or reflect such radiation back to an observer on Earth. To be more precise, there is indeed some minor amount of scattering making the solar system not entirely "black" - such as Zodiacal light, or Gegenschein, which is sunlight scattered by small amounts of dust mostly in or near the plane of the ecliptic.
What is the biggest planet in the solar system and is made mostly of hydrogen and helium?
Jupiter
If there are other planets than the ones in our solar system where are they likely to?
near other stars or in empty space
