The sun is real.
-
How can you definitively prove it, though?
-
Take a look at it, it'll prove to you it's real.
-
Could be an illusion, or a lamp somewhere in the sky, or a simulation
-
You didn't take a look did you?
-
I did, and saw it. I also saw optical illusions. So?

With Solipsism.
-
Unless you are the Sun (in which case, cute~), it doesn't seem to help
-
My point is that if universal personal experience doesn't prove something, you may be in the philosophical weeds.
-
It doesn't take philosophical weeds to consider the possibility of Sun being just a lamp in the sky, or people around you not being real
-
The sun can be a large lamp. That's still real.
-
Is it the Sun as we know it, though? And how can we be sure the lamp is actually there, and not simulation/imagination/trick of our eyes or brain?
-
Back to Solipsism. Anything can be argued in the ways you mention, eliminating all possible knowledge of both self and reality. A non productive dead end of philosophy.
