The planets in a solar system orbit the star in the center, not the star itself.

Think of it like this:

* The star is the "boss": It's the massive object with the most gravity, holding everything in its orbit.

* The planets are the "employees": They are smaller objects that are pulled by the star's gravity, causing them to move in a circle around it.

So, it's not the solar system itself that orbits the star, but rather the planets within the solar system that orbit the star.
