The Sun and the eight planets are collectively called the solar system. If you want a funny answer, we tend to call these nine celestial objects the Solar system because we don't want to waste our precious time and energy calling them 'the Sun and the eight planets'. Your serious answer is: anything related to the Sun is termed solar. The planets are asscociated with the sun as they revolve around it, along with the many asteroids. Thus they form a solar system.
EXTRA INFO There are two asteroid belts in our solar system--one belt defining the boundary between the solid planets and the gaseous ones, and the second defining the boundary of the entire system and distinguishing it from the many other systems in our area of the Milky Way.
Because "Sol" is a name for our Sun. Sol, Solar, get it? Sol is pronounced Soll not Soul, though.
A:The Latin word for "Sun" is "sol"; so "solar" means "about the Sun". The Sun and the things that move around the Sun are the "solar system"; all the things in the system of the Sun.The system of the Sun and the planets is called the solar system because the word "solar" is derived from the Latin word "sol," which means sun. The Sun is at the center of this system, and all the planets, including Earth, orbit around it.
The Latin word for "Sun" is "Sol", so the word "solar" means "concerning the Sun". So, the system of planets around the Sun is the "solar system". Solar=Sun is the rounded up answer.
A Solar system. Earth is a part of the Milky way Solar system.
TRUE!!!! All the planets in the Solar system including Earth orbit the Sun, in ellipses. The Sun lies at one of the foci of these ellipses, NOT the centre. So the Sun is NOT at the 'dead' centre of the Solar system.
The term used to describe the Sun and the planets that orbit around it is "solar system."
The system of the Sun and the planets is called the solar system because the word "solar" is derived from the Latin word "sol," which means sun. The Sun is at the center of this system, and all the planets, including Earth, orbit around it.
If you are talking about the planets that orbit our sun, that is called the solar system.
The solar system.
Planets and moons that orbit the sun are generally referred to as celestial bodies or astronomical bodies in the context of our solar system.
The Latin word for "Sun" is "Sol", so the word "solar" means "concerning the Sun". So, the system of planets around the Sun is the "solar system". Solar=Sun is the rounded up answer.
A Solar system. Earth is a part of the Milky way Solar system.
The Solar System. Multiple solar systems make up Galaxies.
It is called the solar system. Except that the sun has only 8 planets.

No, they orbit around the Sun. The planets and the Sun are all in our solar system.
