An [A-Frame](https://aframe.io) [WebXR](https://www.webxr.community/) sky primitive using a simple (and fast) gradient away from the sun.

Saves your GPU power for the terrain!

Does *not* include any directional lighting.  You may need to set sun-position on other elements to match.

[live example scene](https://dougreeder.github.io/aframe-simple-sun-sky/example.html)

When the sun goes below the horizon, you might want to switch to a different sky.

Include using 

```html

```

Basic use:

```html

```

The sky fades to fog-color near the horizon.

If you use fog in your scene, set fog-color the same or very similar to your fog.

If you don't use fog, set fog-color to a grayish variant of your sky colors.

The special value 'none' will disable the horizon effect, for those rare worlds that are all sky and no land.

```html

```

Setting the colors of the sky:

```html

```

Adding lights so shadows work correctly:

```html

```

Increasing radius (default 5000) of sky sphere (increase the `far` parameter of the camera, too):

```html

```

You can change any of the colors on the fly, except changing fog to or from 'none'.
