Matahari ialah punca tenaga yang utama kepada keluarga planetnya. Ia memancarkan tenaga dalam bentuk gelombang elektromagnet, yang merambut melalui ruang udarakasa dengan halaju 299,744 km (186,270 batu) sesaat. Planet bumi melintasi sepecahan tenaga ini di dalam bentuk haba dan cahaya. Dengan ini ujudlah ke atas bumi, keadaan-keadaan asas bagi suhu dll yang mengakibatkan jiwa boleh jadi. Tenaga matahari yang bercahaya membekalkan tenaga kepada keseluruhan kitar kajihayat jiwa melalui cara fotosintisis. Matahari, melalui sebaran tenaga yang tidak sama atas planet bumi, ialah punca utama, yang menghasilkan peredaran udara, aliran laut, pengangkutan air melalui proses cairwapan dan kerpasan sebagai hujan atau salji dan pengaliran melalui sungai. Pemerhatian-pemerhatian mengusulkan bahawa kekuatan fizikal manusia, kebolehan rohani, keperluan tenaganya, konsep keenakan dll semuanya bergantung kepada berapa banyaknya pengdedahan kepada pancaran matahari. Oleh sebab itu, untuk memahami cara menahan jiwa, dan mengguna dengan sepenuhnya alam sekitar yang lazim serta menghasilkan keadaan-keadaan optimum bagi kehidupan dan pekerjaan, adalah sangat penting untuk memahami perhubungan antara manusia dan matahari. Kefahaman ini boleh menolong manusia memenuhi keperluan untuk tenaga, keperluan bagi kehidupan keenakan tanpa bergantung kepada teknologi yang mahal. Kertas kerja ini berbahaskan perhubungan antara manusia dan alam sekitarnya yang lazim, khasnya dengan matahari. The sun is the main source of energy to its family of planets.It radiates energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, which are propagating through space with a velocity of 299,774 km (186,270 miles) per second, The planet earth intercepts a fraction of this energy in the form of heat and light, that creates on the earth, the basic conditions of temperature etc. which make life possible. It is the radiant solar energy, through the mechanism of photosynthesis that provides energy for the whole biological cycle of life. The sun, through its unequal distribution of energy on the planet earth, is the prime source, that is producing circulation of atmosphere, oceanic currents, transport of water through the process of evaporation and precipitation as rain or snow and flow through streams and rivers. Observations suggest that man's physical strength, mental capabilities, his energy requirements, concept of comfort etc. all depend on the extent of his exposure to the solar radiation. Therefore, in order to understand the life sustaining mechanism, utilize the best of natural environments and create optimum conditions for living and working; it is all the more important to understand man's relation with the sun. This understanding can assist him to fulfill his needs for energy and comfortable living without much dependence on expensive technology. The paper discusses man's relationship with his natural environments, especially with the sun.Downloads
