Sun Family

A Sun Family refers to a group of stars that are gravitationally bound and orbit a common center, similar to how planets orbit a star. Typically, the term applies to systems with two or more stars, such as binary or multiple star systems. These stars share a close relationship, often forming from the same cloud of gas and dust. Studying Sun Families helps astronomers understand stellar formation, evolution, and gravitational interactions in multi-star systems. They are an essential part of our universe's diversity, illustrating how different stars can exist closely together under the influence of gravity.
