The Sun Brings Rain

What is the relationship between sunshine and rain? It seems like the two are complete opposites, until we consider the water cycle needed in order for us to get rain.

The water in the ocean must evaporate, and the sun is the most likely candidate to make that happen.

After the water has evaporated and formed clouds, those clouds must move to where we are. For this, wind is the most likely candidate. Where does wind come from anyway? It comes from the temperature changes brought by the rising and setting of the sun. Without the sun, there would be no wind.

So the clouds pass over the land where we live, and then what? In order for it to rain, the temperature must be within certain limits, and the sun is responsible for that temperature when it rains (if it's too cold, it will snow instead of rain).

So what? I don't have a deeply profound revelation flowing from this concept that the sun brings rain, but it's just a simple example that a lot of things are related to a lot of other things, even if they initially seem to be opposites. What other examples can you think of?
