no less ~ than
Could you tell me if I can say 2) with the same meaning of 1) below.
1) Sunlight is no less necessary to good health than fresh air.
2) Sunlight is necessary to good no less health than fresh air.
Are there any other ways to say the sentences above (with the same meaning)??
I'm also wondering if I can say like:
(changing a positions of "to good health")
3) Sunlight is no less necessary than fresh air to good health.
Thank you!

H M - 1) Sunlight is no less necessary to good health than fresh air. 2) Sunlight is necessary to good no less health than fresh air. 3) Sunlight is no less necessary than fresh air to good health.
- H M - 1) Sunlight is no less necessary to good health than fresh air.
- 2) Sunlight is necessary to good no less health than fresh air.
- 3) Sunlight is no less necessary than fresh air to good health.
- 1) and 3) are both fine, though 3) separates the combination "necessary to", making it a bit awkward.
- 2) is wrong.
