∙ 12y agoThe solar system is often referred to as the Sun's family because it consists of the Sun at its center, along with all the celestial bodies that orbit around it, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.

The Solar System is often referred to as the Sun's family because it consists of the Sun at its center, with planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that orbit around it. Just like a family, all the members of the Solar System are interconnected and influenced by the Sun's gravity.
The sun and its family of planets has a description, not a name. It is "the solar system." The word "solar" means "pertaining to the sun." Thus "the solar system" is the system of objects and gases that pertain to the sun. The word "Sol," Latin for "the sun," is sometimes used as the name of our sun in fiction, but until we actually have populations resident in other solar systems, there is no need to give ours a name. It is "the" solar system, the way the navy of the United Kingdom is simply "The" Royal Navy. Only the others need names, to distinguish them from "the" original.
