The sun affects animals in various ways. One of the primary ways is by establishing a rhythm in their sleep/activity cycles. An animal that is primarily active when the sun is down is considered nocturnal. An animal that is primarily active when the sun is up is considered diurnal.

∙ 12y agoWell, first of all, think about the food chain. Animals that eat plants (herbivores) depend on the Sun to help those plants they rely on to grow. Now think about the meat eaters (carnivores). They rely on those herbivores as food. So if there was no sun, the whole ecosystem would be messed up! Organisms rely on each other to stay alive, and all of them rely on the sun to keep them alive.
The sun can also be used as a source of warmth for the animals. Same as it is for us... I hope this helped you a bunch. ;-)
