The Sun doesn't just emit heat and light, it produces a phenomenon known as the solar wind. The thermal energy of the Sun's rays are transferred to the solar winds, which are then transferred across the solar system. However, as the solar wind gets farther and farther away, the solar wind dies down and the Sun's massive gravitational pull pulls the solar wind toward itself, curving it downward, thus creating the edge of our solar system.
