I want to know the Puranic inscriptions regarding birth of Surya. How sun planet was created? When it was created? Why he is sometimes considered as direct expansion of Vishnu?

Sun is the son of Aditi and Sage Kashyapa. That is why he is called Aditya. Last question is answered here: Why is Surya sometimes called Surya Narayana?– SarvabhoumaApr 11, 2017 at 5:28
