      That’s a very nice question. Electricity is not made by the sun. Sun gives us light. But, I’m sure you’ll be surprised to learn that electricity comes from magnets. In 1800s it was Michael Faraday that discovered that if you move a magnet through a loop of wire, the wire will become electrified. Now, that’s cool!
