How can I convert an object layer to an ordinary layer in Illustrator?
In the illustration below ... how do I drag the Path object, which is the sun, from its layer to a new separated layer?
Of course I can do it by making a new layer and copy and paste in place. However, in my case this process will be a headache. Besides that, I want to preserve the layer properties like color and name and the value of opacity. What I need is just to select the layer and drag it outside its' main layer to be a new layer by itself.

Highlight the object or objects and choose "Collect In New Layer" from the Layer Panel Menu
The Layers Panel is actually a Layers, Sublayers and Object panel. Anything with brackets in its name (<Path>, <Group>) is an object and not a layer.
Layers can contain sublayers and objects.
Sublayers can contain objects.
Objects can only contain other objects.
What you are asking is how to turn an object into a layer by dragging.
You can't just drag an object out of a layer to create a new layer. You have to either create the layer first, then drag the object to the new layer, or use the menu command I've indicated above to generate a layer containing the object(s).
