This is not to study the sun - No, it does not. But it's nice to see what kind of light you are working. In which direction are the shadows belong to? If you do not want to make silhouettes, in which the subject is black against a background interesting, it is usually best to turn the sun behind you.
How is the light affecting your subject? Is the subject squinting?
Is the light blazing directly and brightly upon your whole subject? This works well if you are in love with the bold colors of your subject.
Side lighting, on the other hand, can add drama but can also cause extreme, hard-to-print contrasts.
