Yes. Light from the Sun shines in every direction equally. So most of the Sun's light escapes into space; there are only 8 planets and a bunch of asteroids and minor planets circling the Sun to catch the sunlight.

Physicist Freeman Dyson suggested that some very advanced alien civilization might have a need to capture every bit of light from their star, and might create a spherical shell around the star; it was nicknamed a "Dyson sphere". Dyson suggested that if we located a largeish object that was bright in infrared but invisible in the light spectrum, that might be a Dyson sphere.
