  The flux of neutrinos originating from cosmic ray interactions with matter in
the Sun has been calculated based on Monte Carlo models for high energy
particle interactions. The resulting flux at the Earth (within the Sun's solid
angle) is higher than the corresponding one from cosmic ray interactions with
the Earth atmosphere. The smallness of the absolute rate, however, precludes it
as a practical `standard candle' for neutrino telescopes and limits neutrino
oscillation searches. On the other hand, it facilitates dark matter searches
based on neutrinos from neutralino annihilation in the Sun.
