    Garage door sensors use infrared light. The sun also carries infrared light which, you guessed it, is more powerful than the light of the sensors.  If the light of the sun surpasses the infrared sensors light, the sensors might not be able to signal one another. This is why a garage door might stop closing if strong sunlight is shining on the eye of a garage door sensor.
