Rashi is reflecting the Gemara which says the luminaries, which had  
been created on the first day, were set
in place on the fourth (Chagigah 12a). Also, according to the Midrash,  
the original light was of an intense
spiritual quality (which would not be the sun) and God saw that the  
r'shoim were unworthy of enjoying it.
Therefore, He separated it from the rest of the universe and set it  
aside for the use of the tzadikim in olam haba. (Rashi).
