If you don’t want great accuracy all you need to do is rotate your sun
(light source) around the y axis for direction and the x or z axis for
altitude. Remember to create your sun at the origin and translate it to the
desired starting point before animating it.
You animate by using the clock variable.

There are other methods but to start with, this is the easiest IMO.
I’ve been deliberately vague in case you want to work it out for yourself
but if you want more detailed help with an example please post again.
BTW Welcome.
