Sunshine is the light and warmth that come from the sun when the sky is clear.
From 'sun' + 'shine', referring to the shining of the sun. It has long been used both literally and as a symbol of happiness.
Sunshine doesn’t just brighten your mood; it literally triggers chemical changes in your brain and skin. That’s why the word easily slid into metaphors—calling someone 'sunshine' is a tiny science‑backed compliment.
