And that larger system is comparable to an atom in an even larger system, and so on and so forth.

Our solar system only remotely resembles an atom. The way electrons orbit atoms bears little resemblance to how planets orbit the sun. Planet follow nice well defined ellipses with the sun located at one of the foci. Electrons exist in 'clouds' described by probability and in fact have a small but finite probability of being found in the nucleus at any given instant. We never find a planet in the sun.

Accordingly to varying scientists of equally varying degrees, the Universe is a continually expanding zone, where length and width and volume and measurement is all known to be useless if attempting to measure the beginning to the end of the Universe. If we build off of that piece of hypothetical information, the current Solar System that Earth and its inhabitants (us) are percieved as a much smaller unit that an atom- It's impossibly uncomparable to try to compare something as miniscule, impossibly miniscule, to something that is eternally expanding. The Universe will apparently stop expanding at the end of time, which makes no real sense anyways- But who are we to understand infinity itself?
Therefore, I think that:
No, our solar system is not comparable to an atom that is part of a larger system, and so on and so forth, because it is even smaller.
Infiniti is to Eternity as Eternity if to Infinity.
Sorry about getting onto a rant about the galaxy, but there you have it- My true opinion.
After all, I'm only 13 years.

No, the comparison between the solar system and an atom, is to show in the school a concept for them to understand.
But it is too different, as well as the universe and galaxies structures.

No. The physics of atoms do not match the physics of the solar system at all.

a lot of human beings have speculated that very comparable thought ever because of the fact the form of the atom replaced into conceived that defined it as electrons orbiting the nucleus. through how, the proton is a element of the nucleus. in basic terms the electrons orbit. besides the actuality that i think of that atomic scientists now no longer think of of them orbiting particularly like a factor mass anymore. that's why they call them orbitals now particularly of orbits. The orbital represents the prospect of the place the electron is at any given instantaneous. besides the actuality that i definitely don't comprehend that, so i've got in all risk completely botched that area of the reason. through how, i in my opinion don't have faith that our photograph voltaic gadget is in basic terms an atom in a typical physique. till you advise the galaxy.

Slightly, if you compare orbits and particles, but then I guess since everything starts out on the atomic level, it all ties together.

no ..this universe is one and the only place of existing atoms, out side and inside of this a spiritual plane is the the the source of all atoms

i love astronomy and i do think they are comparable. atoms, solar systems, galaxies, all within the universe. and beyond that???

You never know... It could be very possible, though...
I wouldn't be surprised if that were true.
