The above statement is false.
The solar system contains 8 planets and the Sun itself. The eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Sirius is the nearest star to the solar system.
Sirius is a star, and it is not a member of the Solar system. It is the most brightest star in the sky. It is commonly called the Dog Star.
The correct statement would be that Sirius is not a member of our Solar system.
