Why do we draw the Sun as a circle with lines (rays) coming out of it?

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.
