According to my knowledge , the children of Surya dev were:

1.The Ashwini twins who are the physician of the Gods are the sons of Suryadev and Saranyu, who was the daughter of Lord Vishwakarma. They are associated with the glow of the sky during sunrise and sunset, and also assigned with keeping sickness and plagues away from humankind.

2. Perhaps the most famous son of Suryadev is Shanidev, who is also a Navagraha planet of Hinduism. Shanidev is the God of the planet Saturn and the day of Saturday. The gaze of Shani is considered to be malefic and can affect people's lives negatively. But a favorably placed Shani helps one live a prosperous and fulfilling life.

3. Yamraj, the God of justice and death is another offspring of Suryadev. His main purpose is to uphold Dharma and thus he is known as Dharmaraja. Yamaraja takes control of the souls of earthly beings upon death, and decides their fate according to the actions of that life. He is widely respected among the other Gods too.

4. Yamuna, the twin sister of Yamaraja is the daughter of Suryadev and his wife Saranyu. She is held in special regard by Hindu scriptures. Yamuna had manifested as the holy river Yamuna and descended on earth. She played a significant role in Lord Krishna's life; who grew up on the Yamuna river's banks. This river's water is said to have many healing properties.

5.Revanta (chief of the Guhyakas)

6.Vaivasvata (one of the 14 original men or Manu)

7.Various other offspring sometimes attributed to Surya include the monkey chief Sugriva, Ushas, the personification of Dawn in early texts.

8.Visvakarma chipped off some of Surya's brilliance, perhaps to try and dim the god and make him a little easier for his daughter to live with.I think Tapti was born from this.

9.Karna , the incarnation of Shani dev.


Anyone else u want to include in the list?😊


Correct me if I am wrong ...
