The Solar System
Helical model of the Solar System.
The Solar System is a vast amount of space that is considered to be the main part where planets and celestial bodies rotate, or orbit, around the star we call the Sun. It includes the eight planets, with dwarf planets including Pluto and Ceres.
Although we are used to seeing the planets working on a heliocentric model (being flat, with the Sun in the middle), the above representation shows the newer model of the Sun moving through space with the planets moving around them.
