Light
Sunlight
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it should use the kun'yomi reading. When learning the kanji, you didn't learn that reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you with this word:
You have a ton of sunlight where you live. This creates heat. With this sunlight heat you're able to make your favorite food in the world: hickory (ひかり) smoked bacon. Mmm, taste that delicious bacon.
