In the first creation story, God created the light of day on day 1, but only created the sun on the fourth day, with evenings in between to mark the end of each day.
This is because the ancients did not fully realise that all our daylight comes from the sun, although they believed the sun rules the day (Genesis 1:18), more or less in the style of the sun god.

The light of the first three days was not the sun or any star. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole."

God needed to create light first, otherwise the sun and all the stars would have nothing to give off, because the substance of light would have not yet been created.

When it is said, "God put them in the expanse of the heavens to shine upon the earth," this would indicate that they now became discernible from the surface of the earth, as though they were in the expanse
