Question
Rain is falling vertically. A man running on the road keeps his umbrella tilted but a man standing on the street keeps his umbrella vertical to protect himself from the rain. But both of them keep their umbrella vertical to avoid the vertical sun-rays. Explain.

Answer

We can change the direction of relative velocity of rain as its speed is less but speed of light is very high so if we run also relative velocity of light with respect to us remain constant.
