The Sun gives off light.

The body uses light to convert 7-dehydrocholesterol into pre-vitamin D3. Pre-vitamin D3 forms in to cholecalciferol, vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is brought to the liver were it forms 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Finally, it is brought to the kidney to form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, the active form of vitamin D.
