<reasoning>

Identify the central object in a solar system model

In standard physical or conceptual models of our solar system (specifically the heliocentric model), the central body around which other objects (like planets, asteroids, and comets) orbit is the Sun.

Match the physical representation

A yellow ball placed at the center of such a model is the standard representation of the Sun, representing its central position, spherical shape, and yellow-orange appearance.
