## Day/night cycle. Moves the sun along its arc and drives sky colours, sun and
## moon light, ambient light and fog from the time of day.
##
## Time is a fraction of a day (0 = midnight, 0.25 = 06:00 sunrise,
## 0.5 = noon, 0.75 = 18:00 sunset). One day lasts `day_length` real seconds
## (20 min). Saved with the world (see world.gd collect_save).
