I think it's to do with the amount of dust in the air that rises in heat. So when you're in sunlight, the dust is going to go up your nose, making you sneeze.
because apartently when u look at the light u sneeze
Dust in the air rising towards the heat.
One of the Cranial nerves which has branches to the nose also has one to the eye. Bright sunlight stimulates the nerve to the eye, but the brain thinks it is the branch from the nose, and thinks the nose is being irritated and thus causes a sneeze so as to stop the nose being irritated.

Sneezing is caused by irritation of your upper respiratory tract. This may be due to an inflammation of the tract following a cold, influenza or hay fever being intensified when you move your head in that direction or it could be due to your nose pickimg up rhucus or by you inhaling some sort of irritant substance like dust.
