The Ionosphere-Magnetosphere System Enables the Sun to Acquire a Searchlight.
A New Revolutionary Theory
At all the planets and even their satellites, the ionosphere-magnetosphere systems enable the Sun to have a searchlight (crowning rays with a radiant point).

Abstract
According to the consideration that the Sun is a ball-shaped glowing nuclear furnace, its light must leave it randomly i.e., in continuously changing chaotic directions. In other terms, the solar beams or rays will never be seen incident in the same direction for any sensible interval of time whatever short. Therefore, the Sun at Earth and all other planets acquires its "searchlight" (crowning rays with a radiant point) via light-producing and light-converging processes that occur in the ionosphere-magnetosphere systems as the result of solar wind-magnetosphere coupling and the strong effect of the solar X-rays and UV light on the ionization of their ionospheres.
Introduction
Due to the nature of the Sun and its huge size, it is absolutely impossible to receive its light on the Earth so that its beams make a normal incidence having an annual, regular periodic journey across the equator, or even such that its rays can make a semi diurnal regular declination.
Accordingly, there must be a direction-regulating machine (or even a direction-unifying machine) stationed in the way between the Sun and Earth. Because the Sun light still reaches the Moon randomly, therefore, with respect to the Earth, the direction-regulating machine is stationed in the geospace. Certainly, it is the magnetosphere-ionosphere system that deals with the solar light and energy of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field so that they help the Sun appear sending its beams in a unified direction. In other words, the magnetosphere-ionosphere system helps the Sun have a "mask" of searchlight away from its face i.e., with respect to the Earth, this system transforms the random or chaotic spread of the solar light into a "searchlight form".
However, it is right that the annual periodic journey of the normality of the solar beams across the equator is associated with the 23.5 degrees tilt of the rotation axis of the Earth, but the real cause of this journey is the regular annual swing of the magnetosphere across the equator which is an effect of the 23.5 degrees tilt itself (There is a lot of evidence that Van Allen belts show this swing obviously).
As long as the solar beams at any specific daytime moment are almost the same for all the observers on different latitudes and different longitudes, though they are simultaneously seen having so different declinations, we can then conclude that the spread of this beam radiation is governed by the aspect sensitivity.
So far, we can conclude that the direction-regulating machine must have the ability to produce the light such that it forms a searchlight (crowning rays with a radiant point) whose spread earthward is governed by the aspect sensitivity. Really, the auroral light fulfils these two conditions. Accordingly, the mechanisms that produces the polar auroras are global and there must be a daytime auroral corona always at the sub-solar point i.e., such that this daytime auroral corona lies at the line of sight to the Sun.
Evidence
The Sun at the Moon does not rise with a searchlight masking its face i.e., the sunrise at the Moon does not show the "starburst" appearance. In other words, in general, the sunrise at the Moon does not seem having crowning rays with a radiant point.

As well, via certain mechanisms, these lunar miniature magnetospheres are capable of "focusing" the electromagnetic waves giving them a searchlight appearance that shows crowning rays with a radiant point. This relatively faint searchlight is formed at the sub-solar point.
I see that the lunar miniature magnetospheres (multi-layered) have their own very weak field-aligned currents. As well, there must be a coupling between any lunar miniature magnetosphere and the solar wind. The solar X-rays and UV light hitting the Moon surface and the neutral gas traces of its extremely tenuous atmosphere, are capable of producing an amount of ions or plasma inside the miniature magnetospheres. In this case, each one of these lunar miniature magnetospheres transiently becomes somewhat like the terrestrial ionosphere-magnetosphere system capable of generating and concentrating light in the form of a searchlight (crowning rays with a radiant point i.e., a starburst appearance).
