Sure, the NORMAL sun does that, but Second Sun is inherently unnatural. More importantly, since it doesn't actually cause units to explode into flames or go blind, like the real sun does, it's probably a big IR lamp.
The spell text actually says "The caster creates a huge ball of fire in the sky. This second sun will always shine, day and night, ..."
But of course, a huge ball of fire COULD emit mainly IR light...
