Definitions of god on the Web:
•the supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe; the object of worship in monotheistic religions
•deity: any supernatural being worshipped as controlling some part of the world or some aspect of life or who is the personification of a force
•a man of such superior qualities that he seems like a deity to other people; "he was a god among men"
•idol: a material effigy that is worshipped; "thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"; "money was his god"

Although the sun is not a universe creator, it is idol of sorts...albeit a natural one...
the definition of a God seems to require some consciousness and life force...the sun does not appear to be alive, therefore does not qualify as any sort of deity status...sorry OPs...the sun is not God by definition..else, air can also be considered a god, or water...
Back in the day, all these elements were referred to either Gods, or attributes controlled by a god...then science came along...

It took a century for the Catholic church to get people to stop worshiping the sun. People were beheaded for these pagan beliefs.
I wouldn't bring this up again if I were you.
Just joking. The sun is glorious, without which we couldn't exist.
But....it's not God.

almost.
Jesus is the sun, god isn't.
your close though.....
i can't believe there are still people in this world that don't realise jesus is the sun, and we're going into a new age where our sun is going to awaken, and it will no longer be called jesus.
you guys need to read the bible, and try to understand it unlike all these bible huggers who are pretty much insane.
and if you can't figure this out threw the bible, watch zigihest they explain it fairly well

You think the sun is not alive? Is a plant alive? Then why is the plant's creator not alive? The plant is alive because of multiple elements, the sun is one element, it has a more self sufficient life.

No, the sun is not alive...alive is a biological attribute placed on a lifeform...and the sun is not a lifeform..it does not reproduce, eat, etc...
Animation is not life..it is simply reactions in the same way I can plop a rock into a lake...the waves it creates are not alive...simply reactionary forces from the rock...you can make an argument that if you go far enough back, you will find a alive being meddling with things to make the wave to begin with, but that doesn't change the fact that the rock, nor the waves are not alive.
