The sunlight that reaches us is filtered by different

thicknesses of atmosphere as the solar angle and solar distance

change with daytime and season.[13] These changes imprint a
rhythmicity to daylight, which manifests in the dim, deep blue
sky during the ‘Blue Hour’, when the sun is below the horizon
just before sunrise and just after sunset, the orange glow ‘Golden
Hour’ when the sun is only a few degrees above the horizon, and
the white appearance of noon daylight. Thus we refer to this
time-of-day change in spectral power from solar angle and
distance a spectral-temporal relationship. This rhythmicity in
spectral composition and intensity could also act as sources
stimuli to the circadian system that consists of the sleep-awake
cycle as well as the less apparent ones such as digestion.
