The sun is important in the way that it is a source of vitamin D. Our body makes vitamin D when ultraviolet B (UVB) ray's are directly exposed to our skin. Health experts have linked the lack of vitamin D to heart related deaths, rickets (in children) or osteomalacia (in adults) . You will want approximately 5-30 minutes of sun exposure twice a week directly to your skin (without sunscreen, or through glass). Other sources of vitamin D such as oily fish like tuna and salmon (or vitamin D supplements) may be necessary if you live in an area that has little sun or a lot of clouds. Vitamin D is necessary for absorption and utilization of calcium. it may also prevent high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis and some forms of cancer.
