Genesis 1:3

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
In Genesis 1:3 God said "Let there be light"... the sun however, wasn't created until the fourth day? by Rabbi N. Silberberg
The Talmud (Chagigah 12a) gives two explanations for this apparent problem:
1. The light which God created on the first day wasn't the light of the sun. Rather this was a spiritual light which would allow a person to see "from one end of the world to the other." God did not want evil people using this light so He hid it in the Torah. Righteous people who study the Torah can access this Divine light, and it will be available to everyone in the Messianic Era.
All of creation was created on the first day, God only developed and placed everything in their proper places in the subsequent days
2. God created the sun and moon on the first day, but set them into their orbit on the fourth day. In fact, everything was created on the first day, God only developed and placed everything in their proper places in the subsequent days.
