If I look at the sun (Don’t do it) all I can see is a bright/white circle, why do we draw rays or where does this tradition comes from?

Kids learn to draw like they learn to speak a language. Mostly by example and copying other kids/parents who are teaching.
Consider the stick man. Perhaps based on the traditional self-made doll that fell out of colloquial use some time after mass production of plastic dolls.. kids still draw them today, not even knowing what a stick man is– It’s a drawing of a drawing of a stick man… because that’s how we learn visual vocabulary.
I mean, not completely sure about the tradition, but I am fairly certain you get a good amount of glare coming off the sun, which coincidentally looks like lines coming from a ball
I think it’s meant to represent the rays of sunlight depending on how the sun is shining. Think when tbe sun is coming through the clouds after a storm there are very noticeable rays shining. It could also represent the flames that it’s made out of to show a difference between it and the moon on something that can’t be colored.
