Since Pluto was down graded to a Dwarf planet in 2006, our solar system only has 8 major planets orbiting the Sun. However there are a few more Dwarf planets outside the orbit of Pluto that are being considered for Dwarf Planet status.

Where does the light come from in your solar system?
Planets Reflect light, they do not contain any light apart from internal heat sources.

The star Polaris may have its own planetary system. Certainly none in our solar system come close to it
Can you show me the planets in our solar system?
You can't do much better than nineplanets.org - See related link
Did the sun come first in the solar system?
Yes. Without it, none of the other planets would have been able to form.
What year did Saturn come in the solar system?
Saturn was formed along with all the other planets in the Soar System about 4.5 billion years ago.

What do the sun do in the solar system?
It provides heat and light for the nine planets that orbit it. It also keeps the nine planets in orbit. If the sun were to come to an end, all of the planets would fly in straight lines right out of the solar system and may even become trapped by another star.
What is the biggest solar system in the galaxy?
We've only recently become aware that planets seem to be quite common, so the idea of "biggest solar system" has only come up recently. We have no way of knowing which solar system is "biggest".
Does the sun produce all the energy in the solar system?
Not all of it, but most. Other energy may come from radioactivity within the planets, or kinetic energy from objects that come in outside of the solar system. Also small amounts of radiation can come from other stars.
