The solar system includes all the planets, asteroids, comets, and satellites orbiting the sun. I don't think there has been any other term used for this collection.
I have heard some novelists refer to "Sol's family" or "the sun's family". Since our sun doesn't have another name, its a little hard to come up with another term.

Star systems = solar systems = sun systems = stellar systems
Notice that solar system can be either our star system with the Sun at the center or other star systems around other stars. Check this:
"solar system n. often Solar System
The sun together with the nine [SIC] planets and all other celestial bodies that orbit the sun.
A system of planets or other bodies orbiting another star." [See source.]
In fact, the word "solar" comes from the Latin word for sun, which is sol. So when we speak of a solar system, we are talking about a sun system. But Sun, with the capital S, is the proper name of our star. And sun, without the capital s, is often used in lieu of star.

i dont know what you are asking...
solar system = sun system
revolution = orbit
axis = tilt
rotation = spin
probe = exploration
comet = ice-like satellite
asteroid = rock-like satellite
satellite = moons / planets / comets / asteroids

Presumably you should know this for your school work; if you don't, you clearly don't understand the concepts.
