a "solar system".
No, stars are not part of our solar system. Our solar system consists of the Sun and all the objects that orbit it, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. Stars are separate celestial bodies that exist outside of our solar system.
A star system typically refers to a group of stars that are gravitationally bound together, while a solar system specifically refers to our own Sun and the celestial bodies that orbit it, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
A star and all the objects that orbit it are part of a solar system. The star is typically at the center of the system, and objects such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets orbit around it due to its gravitational pull. These objects together form a dynamic and interconnected system.
Planets are not classified as satellites of the Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit planets, while planets orbit the Sun directly. Planets are considered celestial bodies that revolve around a star like the Sun.
The earth's orbit, like almost all orbits of heavenly bodies, is an ellipse.

A star and all the bodies that orbit it is called a, "Star System". The star system that we live in has been named . . . we call it the Solar System, because the name of our star (The Sun) is "Sol".
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.

A solar system.
Usually a collection of bodies that orbit around a star. Our solar system consists of a rocky planet belt, an asteroid belt, a gas giant belt, a comet belt, and then a comet cloud, all of which fall under the influence of our star's gravity and orbit periodically.
No, not all objects in space, including planets, orbit a star. Some planets are free-floating and do not orbit any star, while others orbit other celestial bodies like brown dwarfs or even black holes.
