The children are playing happily under/in the sun.

Which is the correct preposition?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
The usual preposition in BrE and AmE would be "in".

@tanguatlay,
Again, Ms Tan, 'correct' is an inappropriate word for this situation and I'm happy to see that Contrex never fell into that trap, noting that 'in' is the usual, the normal neutral.
