There’s only one star in our solar system – The Sun.

A few of the “stars” that we see in the night sky are actually planets in our solar system – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus and Neptune can normally be seen only with a telescope, although in some you can (barely) see Uranus without one.

The rest of the stars actually are other stars in our galaxy.

Well, there is only one star in our solar system (the Sun) and it is night time when the Sun is on the opposite side of the planet, so yes.

Our solar system is defined as the system of objects gravitationally bound by the Sun, and there are no other stars bound by our star.

Yes. The only star close to us in our solar system is the sun. If there anymore they would be similarly as bright as our sun

The only star in our solar system is the Sun. Other stars are apart of the rest of the Galaxy and beyond.
