Day One, my friend. Light was the first thing created. This is how it goes in Genesis 1:1-3 ;
'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without formform and void; and the darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moned upon the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light:"and there was light.'
Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.

According to The Bible, God created light on the first day of creation, as described in the Book of Genesis.
God creates light and separates it from darkness. God creates the sky and separates the waters. God separates the waters to create dry land and vegetation. God creates the sun, moon, and stars. God fills the seas and sky with living creatures, and creates land animals. God creates humanity in his image and rests on the seventh day.
On day 5, God created the birds of the air and the creatures of the sea. He blessed them and commanded them to multiply and fill the waters and the skies.
Different religious beliefs offer varying explanations for how God created the world. In Christianity, it is believed God created the world in 6 days, as described in the Book of Genesis. In Islam, it is believed that God created the world in a similar manner but over a longer period of time. In Hinduism, creation is seen as an ongoing cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth.
According to the Bible, on the first day God created light and separated it from darkness. On the second day, he created the sky. On the third day, he created land, seas, and vegetation. On the fourth day, he created the sun, moon, and stars. On the fifth day, he created sea creatures and birds. On the sixth day, he created land animals and humans.
On the second day of creation, God separated the waters to create the sky or firmament. This division of waters above and below the firmament laid the foundation for the Earth's atmosphere.
God said let there be light
One, although he only created day and night on the fourth day. When God spoke, light was created on day one of the creation week. Darkness, being the absence of light, was already present. 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day.God created light and darkness in one day. This was called the First Day.
God created light.
When God began to create heaven and earth--the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping water--God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, a first day...
The Beginning1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day.
Yes god did create the sun on the first day. NO! He created the sun AND the moon on the 4th day!!!
Nothing. On the seventh day God rested.
On the first day God created Light. Light is divided from darkness, creating Day & Night. Genesis 1:3 The confusion usually lies in the fact that on day four, He then created the sun. "...Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, the lesser light to rule the night." Genesis 1:16 It sounds confusing, but it's not. God needed to create light first, otherwise the sun and all the stars would have nothing to give off, because the substance of light would have not yet been created.
the 6th day
God didn't create anything on the fifth year, but he did create poultry and seafood on the fifth day.
fire plus wind
As this is a religious question, you should ask your rabbi, minister, or imam. There was no other light in the world. It says in the Bible that God said "Let there be Light" and there was light. Therefor God would not have to create something that was already there.
