I think it’s because you are over-stimulating your eye when you look at the Sun (which you shouldn’t do!). It feels that it is going to be harmed if it keeps looking at such bright light, so it tries to shut – but, if you don’t want it to shut, you open it. Then it feels over-stimulated again and shuts again, but you open it again – and so on. So it’s not that the Sun makes you blink just because it’s the Sun – because you could face the Sun with your eyes shut and not blink – but, if you try to keep your eyes open when you face the Sun, then you will blink.
