[0003] 1. Morning and evening sunlight: when the sun rises from the eastern horizon and the sun sets below the horizon, the angle between the sun and the ground is 0°-15°.
[0004] 2. Morning and afternoon sunlight: the angle between the morning and afternoon sunlight and the ground is between 15° and 60°, usually referring to the light at 8 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock in the morning, and 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the illumination intensity is relatively stable.
[0005] 3. Midday sunlight: also known as top light, which shines vertically from top to bottom. The illumination angle of the midday sunlight is often affected by the season, and the midday sunlight in summer basically shines vertically downward at 90°, and the projection of the ground scene is very small, while in other seasons, the sunlight shines from top to bottom at an approximate vertical angle, and in winter, the angle of illumination will be more biased.
