Absolutely, afternoon sun can greatly benefit you if you are
Jet lagged. Moreover, short naps and showers can also help you with treating
and dealing with Jet lag.
Jet lag occurs when you travel across several time zones.
When you do so, your body goes out of sync with the destination time and it
experiences daylight and darkness contrary to the rhythms it has grown
accustomed to.
For treating jet lag, it is suggested that a dose between 0.3 mg and 5 mg of melatonin be taken on the first day you travel at the time you will want to go to sleep at your destination. This may be continued at bedtime for a few days once you are at your destination.
Absolutely,
if you are staying at a hotel, check to see that beds and bathroom facilities
are satisfactory and that cooling and heating systems are in good working
order.
When traveling west, try to get at least an hour's worth of sunlight as soon as possible after reaching your destination.
When traveling east, try going to sleep earlier and getting
up and out into the early morning sun.
Absolutely, if you are in good physical condition your
physical stamina and condition will help you to cope better after you land.
Yes, people flying across few time zones may be able to adjust without noticeable effects of the time change. Those flying across many time zones will likely develop noticeable symptoms of jet lag.
In general, the body will adjust to the new time zone at the rate of one or two time zones per day.
Melatonin is a hormone that is active during the body rhythm. After the sun sets, the eyes perceive darkness and alert the hypothalamus to begin releasing melatonin, which promotes sleep.
The cause of jet lag is the inability of the body of a
traveler to immediately adjust to the time in a different zone. This phenomenon
can cause many side effects such as insomnia, fatigue and anxiety.

I don't know that much about treating the Jet Lag but I know a few things about preventing it from happen. You should get a lot of sleep before the actual flight. And not only the night before. You need to start preparing a few days before. I heard that if you travel east, you can go to bed one hour earlier than you usually do, two days before the flight, and 2 hours earlier the night before the sleep. I never tried that, but some people said that it works. And you travel west, you do the contrary - go to sleep later.
