You must have heard #BhaiDooj is a festival which started with Yam visiting his sister Yamuna. Both happen to be Surya Dev's children. We know Shani Dev is also his child. So, how many children does Surya Dev have?

Surya Dev was married to Sanjana, Vishwakarma's daughter. Through this wedlock, three children : Vaivasvata Manu, Yama (The Lord of Death) and Yami.
However, Sanjana found Surya Dev's heat intolerable. So, she left for her father's house asking Chhaya to take her place.

Since Chhaya looked just like Sanjana, everything went normal for Surya Dev and his three children. By Chhaya, Surya Dev had three more children: Savarnamanu, Shani (famously, Saturn) and Tapti.
Chhaya visibly discriminated between her and Sanjana's children.

The relations between step-siblings was highly troubled. Yama once kicked Shani in rage and he became lame. Chhaya then cursed Yama which is a different story.
The relations b/w step-sisters Yami & Tapti were bad. So much that Tapti cursed Yami to become a river on earth.

Yami became Yamuna on earth and Tapti ia known as River Tapti.
So, this was the story of siz children of Surya. Apart from them, Surya was also the father of Karna, a widely known character in Mahabharat. Story of his birth isn't needed to be told, it being already famous.

Sugriva's birth was the consequence of an other incidence.
Once Rishi Mandaya was wrongly implicated/accused in theft & was hanged by spike and left to die with other thieves. A lady named Sheelvati was carrying her husband and she accidentally touched the lingering Rishi.

Rishi, already troubled by spikes, cursed that Sheelvati's husband wouldn't see the next sunrise. The lady calmly replied that the Sun would not rise. She was immensely devoted to her husband. The Sun actually didn't rise for days - Devas persuaded her through Mata Anusuya.

This is, again, a different story and eventually, Surya rose again. However, when Surya was not able to rise due to curse, Aruna, his charioteer, had sometime off from work and desired to roam. So, he took a female form and wandered in Swarga Loka. Indra fell for the beauty.

This union of Devraj Indra and Aruni (female form of Aruna) had one child from it famously known as Baali, who later ruled Kishkindha.
Aruna returned to Surya Lok and narrated the incident. Surya Dev could hardly believe the series of events his charioteer told him.

Aruna again took female form to convince Surya Dev. Surya Dev too fell for the resplendent beauty. Their union produced another son - Sugriva.
Both Bali and Sugriva weren't initially Vanaras. This story some other time.
Hope that now you know all of Surya Dev's children.
