Think of the sun as the nucleus and the oort cloud (past pluto) as where the electron orbitals start.
The size (volume) of the nucleus is tiny compared to the size (volume) of the atom (defined by the extent of the electron cloud).

The atomic nucleus is not neutral, it is positively charged (the exact charge depends upon the element in question; the hydrogen nucleus is +1, the helium nucleus is +2, etc). The atom as a whole is electrically neutral, unless it becomes ionized.
What energy changes in an atom bomb?
Atomic bomb is a very danger bomb. IT emits the nucleus energy.
What is inside the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons. Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Because the nucleus is only made up of protons and neutrons, it is positively charged. Physicists believe that there is a cluster of Protons and Neutrons within an Atom's nucleus. Friend Premier is quite right. So instead saying inside the nucleus it would be apt to say that nucleus is made up of...

How do you account for the number of protons?
The atomic number of an element accounts for the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom of that element. For example: * Hydrogen atomic number is one. The nucleus of its atom has one proton. * Oxygen atomic number is 8. The nucleus of its atom has 8 protons. * Iron atomic number is 26. The nucleus of its atom has 26 protons. * Lead atomic number is 82. The nucleus of its atom has 82 protons. * Uranium atomic number is 92. The nucleus of its atom has 92 protons.
