Go to the sun vs Go in the sun

Both phrases are correct, but they have different meanings and contexts. 'Go to the sun' implies traveling towards the sun, which is not physically possible. On the other hand, 'go in the sun' means moving into an area where the sun is shining. The choice between the two depends on whether you are referring to a physical journey towards the sun or simply being in a sunny location.
