How many stars are there in the solar system?


Question:


Answer:
Just the one. Jupiter would need to be about 80 times more massive than it is to begin to qualify as a star.
One.

Sol.
One, the sun.

Some of the other planets look like stars.
One. It's called the sun.
Just one, the Sun. Sol.

OTOH, Jupiter definitely qualifies as a 'proto-star'. A star that fell just a bit short of accreting enough mass to start a full-blown fusion reaction in it's core.

HTH ☺

ONE, UNO.
In a solar system there's only one star. Sometimes, however, stars have pairs but the star's pair does not belong to the same solar system as it does. It belongs to another solar system.
1 - the sun
A "Solar System" is one star (in our case the Sun) with objects in orbit around it...again, in our case, 8 planets if you want to leave out Pluto plus the asteroid belt between Earth and Mars which science theorizes is either and unformed planet or one which was destroyed. The former theory is probably more correct and could be, in effect, the Sun's equivalent of the rings around Saturn and the planets "Solar Moons".
well because you said the solar system that means there that the answer is one. The stars name is the sun.
There is only one star in the Solar System. It is the sun.
One so there!
one it's called the sun.The other closest star is Alpha Centari which is 5 lightlears away.
only one
