My child, siblings and I
$begingroup$
I walk around my child, me and my siblings. One of us is too young and he is not one of us anymore. All my child does is sit there and wobble every so often, but he is the brightest of us all. I am one of a kind, and none of my siblings are like me, a lot of them are just full of hot air, but I fear the day when my child gets bigger and kills us all. I have been here for some time, but I won’t be here is a while.
Who am I?

You are
Earth
Your child is
the Sun
And your siblings are
the other planets (and Pluto)
One of us is too young and he is not one of us anymore.
Pluto got "demoted" to dwarf planet a while back
All my child does is sit there and wobble every so often, but he is the brightest of us all.
The Sun is the bightest object in the sky.
Apparently, the Sun wobbles due to the planets' gravity
I am one of a kind, and none of my siblings are like me
Earth is the only habitable planet
a lot of them are just full of hot air
gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn
but I fear the day when my child gets bigger and kills us all
The Sun will certainly swallow the Earth at some point
