Description
Requested by two users on the forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/cesium-dev/8-H_Nb1vVNo
> The day/night lighting is very nice, but it would also be nice to show where the sunlight is simply by drawing a sun termination line, which is the border between day and night, instead of relying on the shadow to demarcate that border.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing Cesium's existing day/night lighting and shadow rendering to understand where the day–night boundary is represented. Done means displaying a sun termination line that clearly marks the border between daylight and night, as requested, without relying only on the shadow.
