The solar system is not 'organised'. It conforms to a structure in which the massive central body (the sun) holds in its gravitational pull a large number of smaller bodies. These bodies vary widely in dimension, mass, albedo and material constituency as well as in their orbits. However the main planetary orbits are roughly aligned with the ecliptic. Copernicus, the Polish astronomer believed there to be a mathematical formulary for the distances from the sun of its major satellites. Although this fell out of favour for centuries, there has been shown to be some correlation between his concept and factual measurements.

What could a solar system or galaxy and a microscopic ecosystem have in common?

Both a solar system/galaxy and a microscopic ecosystem are complex systems that involve interactions between various components. They both operate based on principles of interconnectedness and interdependence among their elements, leading to stable structures and behaviors. Additionally, they can both exhibit patterns of organization, such as planetary orbits in a solar system and trophic levels in a microscopic ecosystem.
