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.

Why the sun appears bigger and brighter as compared within the solar system?

99.5% of the mass of the entire solar system is in the Sun. And more than 99% of the energy generated in the solar system is also from the sun. It's the largest mass in the solar system, and it's generating almost all the solar system's power - it stands to reason it's going to be the biggest and brightest thing in the solar system.


Why is it that you say solar energy gives us fuel?

Ultimately all our energy comes from the sun. Fossil fuels were formed millions of years ago through photosynthesis. Today we can use solar photovoltaic cells to produce Hydrogen that can be stored and later used in a fuel cell to produce electricity.


Is solar energy a success or failure?

It's a success, in the way that it is true that solar energy does produce energy. However, there are many problems with this source of energy. For example, on cloudy days, it won't work as well, and at night it won't work at all. Some people save energy in batteries for nighttime from solar energy, but batteries can't hold all that much energy, and once they are used they have to be disposed of, which pollutes the Earth. So it does provide sufficient energy, given that it is sunny. Though, it isn't very widely used. Out of all the sources of energy, I believe only 0.5% is solar.
