  • Solar System: Definition, Components & How They Work
    That's a great question! What you're describing is called a solar system.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Star: The central, massive object in a solar system, like our Sun. It's a giant ball of hot gas that produces its own light and heat through nuclear fusion.

    * Bodies in orbit: These can include planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and even dust and gas.

    * Orbit: The path that these bodies take around the star, influenced by the star's gravity.

    So, a solar system consists of a star and all the objects that are gravitationally bound to it and orbiting it.
