What is the Solar System?

     The Solar System is our Sun and everything that travels around it. Our Solar System is shaped like an egg. The Sun is in the center of the solar system. Our Solar System is always moving. Nine known planets and their moons, along with comets, asteroids, and other space objects orbit (move around) the Sun.
