When we read about the sun or hear people talk about the sun, it is often in a context of how damaging and cancer provoking the sun is. Well, do not be fooled. The Sun is the prime source of the energy that we get from the food that we eat. Remember the food chain system that we have learned from Biology class? The Sun provides energy and photosynthesis that is needed for plants to grow. Sunlight is the best and only natural source of vitamin D.associated only with its role in bone formation, is actually active throughout the human body, powerfully influencing immune system responses and cell defences.
In Greek culture, the Sun was named Helios and represented a human form.
The Sun played a very important part in the lives of the ancient Egyptians as well. In the earliest times, it was feared and dreaded because of its mysteriousness. The continuous rising and setting of the Sun was also looked upon as representing the cyclical nature of life.
