The sun is a star.
It's the only self-luminous body in the solar system.
The gravitational force of mutual attraction between the sun and everything in a closed orbit
around it is what makes the closed orbits possible.
One focus of the elliptical path of everything in closed orbit around the sun is at the center of the sun.
The orbits of the planets are so nearly circular (small eccentricity) that the center, as well as both foci,
of every planetary orbit is inside the sun. This isn't true of most repeating cometary orbits.

Why are objects in solar system different from each other?
Our solar system consists of the sun, the planets, their moons, and a variety of smaller objects. The sun is at the center of the solar system, with other orbiting around it. The force of gravity holds the solar system together.
What term refers to our sun and the objects that orbit around it?
The term used for the sun and the objects that move around it is solar stem. This is what contains the other planets.
What does gravity have to do with the sun and other objects in the solar system?
it pulls them all together
The plantes and other objects that orbit the sun are called constllations or a solar sysrem?
They are all called the solar system.
How did the planets and other objects in the solar system form out of material in a disk?
from when an objects crashed into earth and an chunk of rock form
How is Sirius star different from all the other objects in the solar system?
Sirius is not part of our Solar System, so it is not appropriate to talk about "other objects in the solar system".

What is the largest galaxy in the solar system?
There are no galaxies in the solar system. The solar system consists of the sun and the planets and various other objects such as moons, comets, asteroids and other things. Our solar system is in a galaxy called the Milky Way.
What includes the sun planets moons and other objects?
The solar system
Why do the planets and the other objects in the solar system stay in their orbits?
The planets and other objects in the solar system stay in their orbits due to the mutual gravitational attraction between each orbiting object and the Sun.
What are the major objects in your solar system?
Roughly in order of decreasing size and mass, the objects in the Solar System are: the Sun; the planets; moons; dwarf planets; other planetoids; comets.
What term refers to our sun and the objects that orbit around it?

What is a group of stars and the planets and other objects orbiting around it?
Solar system
What does gravity have to do with the sun and other objects in the solar system?

How does Halley's comet travel through the solar system?
The same way all other objects in the solar system travel, it will be back in 2061.
A star and all the objects that orbit it are?
A solar system.
