The movement of planets around the Sun is the best analogy to describe the location of an electron in an atomic orbital.
In my opinion the analogy is the orbiting of planets around the sun in the solar system.
Around the atomic nucleus, on electron shells.
sub-atomic particles are within the atom (and remember, atoms are everywhere): the electron, proton and neutron are all sub-atomic particles, but there are even smaller particles (and anti-particles) called quarks that make up the proton, neutron and electron.
The electron configuration of iron, atomic number 26, is [Ar]3d64s2. The expanded electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2.

the heisenburg uncertainty priciple says that you cannot know an electron's location and speed at the same time
In a shell at a distance form the atomic nucleus. The Electron Cloud
You can predict it's physical state, atomic size, atomic weight, electron effinity, charge, and other physical characteristics.
The electron cloud is a volume of space around an atomic nucleus. It comprises of a space of probability. It is the volume of space where electrons can "probably" be found, or have a probability of being found.
The mass of an electron is atomic mass units is 5,485 799 090 70(16); the mass of the electron is not an atomic mass.
sub-atomic particles are within the atom (and remember, atoms are everywhere): the electron, proton and neutron are all sub-atomic particles, but there are even smaller particles (and anti-particles) called quarks that make up the proton, neutron and electron.
An electron cloud is an atomic orbital.
The electron has no atomic mass number. The mass of an electron is roughly 1/1800 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
The periodic table is arranged according to the atomic structure of the elements. The atomic structure, specifically the electron arrangement determines the properties of the elements. Elements with the same outer electron configurations have similar properties and are located in the same group.
