Answer:

the sun is too bright

Step-by-step explanation:

The pain you feel in your eyes when you look at the sun is similar — you're doing more work with a muscle than that muscle is used to performing, and doing it faster. All of a sudden, there's a lot more light trying to shove its way into your eye at once, and, in an effort at crowd control, your pupil contracts.

everyone's eyes hurt when they look at the sun. eyes are sensitive and when you look at the sun your eye has to quickly adjust to the brightness which makes your pupil contract (get small) super fast.
