the way I imagine it the sun is emitting light from all angles at all times. Why did the photo have streaks of light? I assume this is because of the camera but it has multiple pilers of light so I am confused. maybe because the sun doesn’t emit the same amount of light from each area depending on flares? I am tagging this physics but if people think that this is more engineering I’ll change it.

As others have mentioned, it is just a lens flare.
It is likely there were several pictures to chose from, and that one was chosen because the flare makes it more striking.
