What makes you think the Sun doesn't give light to the Solar System?
The amount of light received at a given point, however, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
So if you were to go to Mars (which is farther from the Sun than we are) the Sun would be about a third as bright as it is from Earth.
If you were to go even farther - say to alpha Centauri, about 4 lightyears away - the Sun would appear as a normal night-time star. Quite bright, but just a point of light.
If you went to the standard distance used by astronomers (10 parsecs or about 33 lightyears) the Sun would be even fainter, about magnitude 5.
