The Sun brings warmth, life and goodness. Who would want to worship a Night God? The night brings cold, darkness and the unknown. Day/Night, Good/Evil, Pure/Sin. See the correlation?
How have people described Sun Gods throughout the centuries? Here is a nice list to help get you started.
"The Sun of God, who will come again (every morning), he is the light of the world (the sun), the risen savior (Sun) who will come again (as it does every morning), the glory of God (the sun), who defends the works of darkness (the night), can be seen coming (every morning) as he is born again (every morning), up in heaven (in the clouds), with a crown of thorns (sun rays). " —from the Zeitgeist movies, links found below.
The masses did not know about general concepts of space science and astronomy until this century. So, the masses didn't know the atmosphere was several miles thick and then after that, space. Then our solar system, then our galaxy and then the entire universe. In the past, don't you agree that most people naturally thought of heaven as just past the clouds?
