Why do all the planets in our solar system orbit the sun?

The Sun has such a gigantic mass that it dominates the nearby volume of space.Not all bodies do orbit the Sun; there are comets that get pulled in by the Sun's gravity but then leave the solar system (comest on hyperbolic paths).Many smaller bodies also orbit their parent planets (we then call them moons).What else could the planets orbit around? Part of the definition of a planet is that it orbits the Sun! So planets by definition orbit the Sun! If they did not orbit the Sun they would not be called planets!

What is a group of planets that orbit a star?

Personally I'd call anything that is large enough to rotate around the Sun is a planet. However, that causes "loads" of problems, orbits and mass etc. If that criteria was used we'd have hundreds/thousands of planets and sooo many problems. The current criteria makes sense and should be used. It matters not if an "object" in space is a planet, dwarf, asteroid or comet - it's nothing more than a "lump" of something orbiting the Sun.
