**Camera Altitude:** - The altitude of the camera in the world in meters

**Azimuth Angle:** - The solar azimuth angle of the sun measured via a spherical coordinate system. North is 0/360°, East is 90°, South is 180° and west is 270°.

**Zenith Angle:** - The altitude of the sun based on the angle between the horizon and the centre of the Sun's disc.

**Sky Type:** - Here you can choose if the atmosphere is cloudy or partially cloudy.
  * **Default** - Default has a cloudy atmosphere
  * **Partially Cloudy** - Partially Cloudy has a partially cloudy atmosphere.


**Luminance:** - 

**Disable Sun:** - Disables rendering of the Sun’s disc. The does not affect the general ambient lighting of the scene.

**Disable Ground:** - Disables rendering of the ground.
