The particle "no" is usually postfixed* to a word of phrase to mean "belonging" or "of", for example :

1) Kore wa watashi no hon desu.

a) This is my book. (watashi no hon = book of me)

2) Kono hon wa teberu no ue ni arimasu.

a) This book is on the surface of the table. (teberu no ue = surface of the table)

3) Watashi no nihongo no benkyo o shimasu.

a) I am doing my Japanese studies. (watashi no nihongo no benkyo = the studies of Japanese of me, or my Japanese studies)

*note: because the particle -no is postfixed, it resembles the "apostrophe s" in English, more than the word "of"

What does Asahi Ni mean in Japanese?

朝日 に means "in the morning sun". But 朝日(Asahi) Shimbun is also the name of a Japanese Daily newspaper so depending on the rest of the sentence it could mean the particle ni could mean in, to, at, on, and other things. It marks an indirect object as well. It is very hard to translate only part of a japanese sentence properly into english. Verbs are more important in Japanese than in English and this lacks a verb.
