Sun's Disk

In Surfacing/Rendering, is it possible to create the sun's disk and position it in the sky? If so, how does one go about doing it?

To create a glowing globe (to simulate the sun): Use Primitives in DS, either create a sphere or a plane. Then apply an emissive shader (e.g. Iray, DS Uber Shader , search for emissive glow).
Then turn up the values forl luminamce to a very high value. 
Than move the object to the place in the scene where you want it and scale if necessary..
(To get an idea how objects can be used with iray as light sources look at rendo at my freebies experimental light objects)
