That depends what you include in the "Solar System". The Oort Cloud - a group of comets - is believed to be at a distance of about 1 light-year from the Sun; that would give a diameter of about 2 light-years. If you only include the 8 major planets, the size of the Solar System is only a fraction of a light-year. (A light-year is the distance light travels in a year; light gets from the Sun to the farthest planet in just a few hours.)

What is the difference between a planetary nebula and a nebula that formed the solar system?
The solar system did not form from a nebula at all. Our solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust, our sun formed at the center and planets formed from the surrounding matter. when our sun became large enough to support nuclear fusion, the solar wind created blew away most of the gases present. A planetary nebula is formed after a star runs out of fuel (Helium) and collapses inward on itself due to the massive amount of gravity and the now unstable balance of the star. the pressure then becomes so great that the gases that had been pulled inward explode outward at an incredible speed. The Cats Eye Nebula is a good exampleFile:NGC7293_(2004).jpg
