Sun and SkyDiffuse illuminance (Evd)
also called Skylight - Solar Radiation reaches the Earth as a Result of Scattering in the Atmosphere
Direct illuminance (Evs)also called sunlight - Solar Radiation reaches the Earth’s Surface as Parallel Rays, directly from the Sun’s Disc, after Selective Attenuation by the Atmosphere
Global Illuminance (Evg)Evg = Evd + Evs

Use Large Surface as Possible
YES.... but also NORecall the Definitions of -aa and -arThe -ar Setting is proportional to Minimum/Average SizeAn Oversize Surface in the Scene, -ar need to be increased. And Sometimes it requires a very large -ar.
