The light of the sun is equal to the light of how many candles?

Well, first of all, you have to be more specific. Are you referring to the frequencies of light, the energy of the light, or the brightness? Are you referring to the light all the way around the sun and candle or just what is reaching you eyes or a certain area? Also, results may vary as there are many different kind of candles, measuring the light from the sun may be different around the globe and in different weather and different altitudes. Again, you have to be more specific to get a decent answer.
