Sun

Today I am grateful for the sun and its importance in our life. Sun is the crucial element for the survival and life on earth and at the same time, it is the part of the galaxy. Sun is moving in its orbit since it had been discovered. This earth's survival is dependent on this sun. I acknowledge and appreciate its significance in our lives, for example:

The existence of life on this earth is dependant on SUN, however, it is far from the earth

Sunset and sunrise are the most stunning views of the sun and various routines attached with these two phenomena, for instance,

Muslims keep fast before sunrise and break after sunset during the month of Ramadan, even Muslims offer five times salah from sunrise to sunset

In other faiths, people celebrate ceremonies during sunrise

Sun rays are extremely valuable for various stuff for instance:

It stimulates photosynthesis in plants

Sunlight helps to dry wet clothes

Even you can make pickle or even dry red chillies and other spices

Sunlight makes our bones stronger by producing Vit D

Some people do meditation while sunrise or sunset

In most of the European countries, people purposefully suntan their skin while long exposure to the sun

Survival without the sun is impossible, few regions have life even 6 months with sun and 6 months without sun

The importance of the sun on this earth is beyond explanation, and life without the sun is beyond imagination. Think deeply and wisely
