Example:
Imagine trying to keep track of all the people moving around you in a busy shopping mall. Just like the way shoppers navigate around a central hub of stores, planets and other celestial objects orbit around the sun in a solar system. In this analogy, the mall represents the solar system, the central hub of stores is the sun, and the shoppers are akin to the planets and other objects, each following its own path but all revolving around the same central point.
