The Earth is part of the Solar System, this includes an area of space which contains a star, planets and other bits and bobs such as meteorites and asteroids and the like.

Here's some important basic stuff

The Sun is at the centre, with 8 planets and a planetoid orbiting it (pluto was downgraded from planet to planetoid at some point). These planets, in order from the closest to the sun to the furthest, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Pluto is the furthest out but again, it is no longer classed as a planet.

Between Mars and Jupiter lies the Asteroid belt, another distinguising feature and beyond Pluto is another asteroid belt called the Kupier belt but it is so sparse and spread out, if you were in it, you wouldn't see any asteroids.

Each planet is different (obviously), size, length of year/day, number of moons, weather patterns, atmosphere, there's a long list and probably more information than you could read off of wikianswers.

That's the basics, the planets of the solar system and some interesting other stuff, hope it helped because your question didn't actually make too much sense.
