The official name of our solar system is the "Solar System." The term "solar system" is a general designation used to describe the system that includes the Sun, the celestial bodies orbiting around it (such as planets, moons, asteroids, comets, etc.), and the various interactions and phenomena that occur within this system.

The name "solar system" is derived from the Latin word "sol," which means "Sun." It reflects the central role of the Sun in our system, as it is the star around which all other objects orbit.
