The sun is a luminous body and as itself it doesn't cast a shadow. Now if you were to place a brighter body that has more luminous intensity than the sun, only then would it cast a shadow. So technically the sun doesn't have a shadow or somehow even if it did you wouldn't be able to see it because of the miles of space around it.

Look up the meaning of the word "inane".

The Sun is a SOURCE of light. It casts shadows, but doesn't have one itself. The only way it could cast a shadow would be if it were illuminated by a light source even brighter than the Sun, such as a brighter star. In close double stars, the combined light of the stars changes in brightness because the fainter star blocks the light of the brighter star.

If you understand what a shadow is and what causes one then you will have answered your own question.
