Is it better to keep a compost pile in the sun or in the shade?

You generally want to keep your compost in the sun if you can. Try to
treat your pile as if it were a living plant. Give it water regularly and
air (flipping). Equal amounts of green and brown ( carbon and cellous) and
you'll good compost in no time...
Good luck.
