What is the "solar system"?

Professor Gizmo (Amazing Science Presentations) gives expert video advice on: Why do we need to wear a space suit in space?; Why do things float around in space?; Why do stars twinkle? and more...

Our solar system is basically composed of all the planets and moons that are orbiting our sun. We had 9 planets at one time, and now I think we're down to 8, but the planets are large bodies that are orbiting around the sun. Many of them have different rates of time that it takes for them to get around the sun. They each have moons, which go around each of those planets. We have one moon. Some planets have many moons. Some planets have no moons. But all of these things which are basically part of and are affected by the sun are part of our solar system.
