Can solar power work without the sun?
No. No other object in the solar system produces significant amounts of light.
What property determines whether an object is part of the solar system or outside the solar system?
If the object is gravitationally bound to the sun, it is part of the solar system. If not, not.
Which object in the sky produces light?
The only non-man made object in the sky (Read: Universe) are stars. Our sun (In essence, a star) is the only natural light-producing object in our solar system. All the other lights such as the moon, other planets, nebula's etc. are reflecting the light from the sun or their stars towards us. Comets do not produce light of their own, their light comes from the atmospheric friction created when they enter an atmosphere.
What planet is the largest object in the solar system?
The largest object in the solar system is not a planet. It is the Sun. The largest planet is Jupiter.
Why is the sun the brightest object in the sky that people can see?
The sun is a star. It is the closest star to Earth by several orders of magnitude and the only star and largest object in the solar system. It is also the source of all light in our solar system. The light we see from the moon and the planets is reflected light from the sun. The stars, like the sun, emit their own light but are much farther away.

Is the sun capable of its own light?
Yes. The sun produces all the heat and light energy to all the planets in the Solar System.
The moon produces light by internal fusion?
No. The only body in the solar system that radiates its own light is the Sun. All other bodies in the Solar System , especially including the Moon, shine only by reflected sunlight.
What property determines whether an object is part of the solar system or outside the solar system?
