Every gravitationally bound hydrogen atom that is not part of some larger body is tied for this distinction.
The "smallest body" is an essentially meaningless term. How big does something have to be to be a "body" ... an atom, a molecule, a grain of dust, marble-sized, or what? There are a very large number of dust-sized particles orbiting the Sun, some of which occasionally enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up as meteors.
The largest dwarf planet in the solar system is Pluto, and it is also the ninth largest body orbiting the sun directly. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union in 2006.
The Sun is classified as a star in the solar system. It is a yellow dwarf star located at the center of the solar system and serves as the primary source of light and energy for the planets orbiting around it.
Nicolaus Copernicus published his theory that the sun is a motionless body at the center of the solar system on his deathbed in 1543. This theory is known as the heliocentric model, which places the sun at the center of the solar system with the planets orbiting around it.
Because the Earth was made from material that was orbiting the proto Sun.
The center body of the solar system is the Sun.
False. There are LOTS of objects in the asteroid belt that orbit the Sun but are much smaller than Pluto.
Pluto is no longer considered a planet by the International Astronomical Union; it is classified as a dwarf planet. Among the eight recognized planets in our solar system, Mercury is actually the smallest.

You mean - of THE solar system ?? That would be the sun.
The Sun is the central and largest body of the Solar System - but it is not a planet.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but the Sun is the biggest body.
But ... there are many bodies in our Solar system that have no atmosphere.
Both the solar system and the Bohr model of the atom have a central body (Sun or nucleus) orbited by smaller objects (planets or electrons) in defined paths. They both follow similar principles of circular motion and gravity/electromagnetic force governing the interactions between the central body and the orbiting objects.
