I want to create tar file on Solaris (Solaris 10 ) as Kit.tar
and untar the Kit.tar on Linux machine ( linux red-hat 3/4/5 )
Can we be safe with that untar process on Linux machine? ,
I want to be sure that all files (binaries and files) that extract from Solaris ( as tar cvf Kit.tar * )
will be exactly on the Linux machine ( as tar xvf Kit.tar )

Sure, that will be OK - tar files are not tied to a single platform.
