 * Interesting. MWOnline has a different, purportedly idiomatic sense, with which I am not familiar. The second sense of "sun" is metonymy/synecdoche for "sunlight". delete DCDuring TALK 12:01, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

 * A day in the sun (meaning fifteen minutes of fame) is common, but Google seems to pick up very few idiomatic hits for the same phrase with year, month, decade, or week. I'd say in the sun is SoP, but can redirect to the longer phrase, which someone should add: either a day in the sun or day in the sun (and redirect the other) . &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 16:15, 8 October 2009 (UTC) 01:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The possibly idiomatic uses of the form "X in the sun" (X being a subset of imprecise time words) represent a small share of the usage of "in the sun". Of the first 100 collocations of "X in the sun" at COCA representing 1838 instances, only 6 were of time words, representing 219 instances. Many of the time words were not usually used in a remotely idiomatic way. Four hours, years, and days only 3/44 uses were possibly idiomatic. "Day" (72), "moment" (52), and "time" (51) are the main candidates for "X". "Place in the sun" is even more common than "day". What seems clear is that there is a sense of "sun" meaning "glory" or "public acclaim".
 * MWOnline has "in the sun" meaning "in the public eye". RHU and AHD have "a place in the sun". No dictionary has "day", "moment", or "time" in the sun. DCDuring TALK 17:57, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your searching nd analysis. Delete this and add the sene to sun unless it's there already.—msh210℠ on a public computer 01:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

 * As usual, no CFI or other logical reason to do so. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:40, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
