can any of you answer this?

think about it

in our solar system all the planets orbit on about the same plane in relation to the sun.

are they folowing a neutral magnetic plane?

I know the poles of the sun switch from time to time

But it would be to quick to effect anything unless it only went half way

could gravity be magnetism?
big magnet = higher gravity?

Magnetism and gravity are both distortions in the fabric of spacetime.
Gravity arises from the "global" curvature induced by the presence of mass, and magnetism arises from its spin-topology.

The aggregation of planetary bodies in a disk around a star is similar to magnetism, in that it is an effect of rotation.  Magnetism may play a (small) part in this phenomenon, but  but confusing common magnetism with the kind of gravity that makes the apple fall is, well... confusing.

Writ large, however, we can see that all "forces" are made out of the same underlying cloth -- namely, the scintillating geometry of spacetime.

Electromagnetic models of astrophysical phenomena like galaxies have met with some success.  Plasma cosmology is emerging as a brilliant new direction in theoretical physics.  Check out "The Electric Universe"; it is quite compelling.

Edit:  (they get it wrong about relativity, btw, as electromagnetism is fundamentally related to gravity via relativity as I have explained above.)

Light and electrons are totally apples and oranges!

Light is a form of energy and electrons are particles inside the matter!
Electricity is also a funny word! It composes of many definations such as electrical current, electrical potential difference, electrical charges etc. Now electrons movement is caused by electrical potential difference between two poles and this movement is called electric current. This current carries electrical energy! And all this combined is called electricity!
Similarly light is the form of energy. It is not matter. Energy can be converted into matter following famous E = mc ^ 2 principle. So you can convert a matter which is composed of electrons and neutrons and protons etc. in to pure energy. nuclear power plants use this to produce electric form of energy from matter.

Hope I am of some help!

No. Magnetism is not equal to gravity. Both forces are attraction forces but magnetism works only with other magntic material i.e. a material capable of rearranging its polarity e.g iron. Vice versa Gravity attracts all type of materials to itself.
