Our solar system is centred round the Sun, which is our own star, while Sirius is a nearby star that is bigger and brighter than the Sun but a lot further away.

Sirius can be found near the constellation of Orion, to the lower left of it when viewed from USA or Europe. It is the brightest of all the stars, but the planets Venus and Jupiter can be brighter at times.
