On QI (bbc quiz show) they once said the sound you make when you sneeze is cultural/learned, so I wouldn't be surprised the number of sneezes is also somehow cultural.
Yes—sun sneezes are genetic! I have an ex who straight up said I was lying that looking into a strong light source helped me sneeze. We both didn't know it was a genetic thing, I suppose.

People who have sun sneezes tend to sneeze a bunch of times at once. Sun sneezes are genetic.

I have sun sneezes, I didn't know this was also why I sneeze multiple times in a row. Thanks! Haha

Probably only in that your sinus and nose structure is shaped similarly.

I would say that it probably is but if it turns out to be cultural then that would be very interesting.

Most people in my life sneeze in clusters of three
