Ra created all life by saying each one's special name, except for humans. Humans sprang to life from Ra's sweat and tears. Ra can freely travel to the underworld. Ra was born of Nun, which was a male/female watery abyss.
Ra is often depicted as a human man with the head of a falcon and a sun disk upon his head. He is said to of merged with various gods, the most important of which is Osiris, god of the Underworld. This made Ra god of life and of death. Ra has no official consort, but is at times paired with Hathor.

The sun was the center of life for Egyptians, and since Amon Re was the sun God, they believed he controlled the sun and therefore, everything about their lives.

Who is the god of sun?
I figure you're either asking, "Who is the Son of God?" (and my answer would be Jesus, based on the Christian faith) or you could be asking, "Who is the sun god?" (and my answer would be Apollo the Greek "sun god" or Helios in Greek mythology). The Sun God might also refer to Louis 14 (XIV) of France, who was popularly known as "le Roi Soleil", The Sun King. Louis was strongly associated with Apollo Helios as the virtual center of France, the French court and the French culture. It could also refer to Aten, the god of Akenaten, the 'heretic' king of ancient Egypt.
