Scene settings reference
These controls change the conditions a scene is rendered under rather than the design itself. Changing lighting is usually the fastest way to fix a render that feels wrong.
Lighting
Time of day, which sets sun angle, shadow length and colour temperature. Sunrise and Sunset give long shadows and warm light; Noon is flat and even and is usually the least flattering for exteriors.

Weather
Atmospheric conditions layered over the lighting choice. Overcast is the safest option for showing materials accurately, because it removes hard shadows.
