[edit] Title??

Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I expected this article to talk about any solar system and another article titled 'Sol Solar System' or something similar would talk about our solar system. There are billions of other solar systems out there, why does this talk mainly about our own? I know we know lot more about our own than others but still. 124.254.78.121 (talk) 04:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Astronomical literature tends to refer to the systems of planets orbiting other stars as planetary systems: I think that article is what you are looking for. Our system of planets orbits the Sun (Sol in the Latin), so as you said, this is the (Sol)ar System (proper noun). Iridia (talk) 05:51, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
