Sky Texture: Add Option for Location (lon/lat), Date and Time

It would be nice to be able to set up the sky texture for a known location, date, and time.

Currently, I have to set the sun size, elevation, rotation, and altitude as well as physical parameters (air, dust, ozone) to recreate the sky as it should be on any location on earth.

It would be super handy to just input a location (either search for city or put in long./late. values) as well as a date of the year and a time on that location and all parameters should be set automatically (sun size, elevation, rotation, altitude,... based on the location, date and time.

You have the "Sun position" addon which is there by default that does exactly what you're saying, you just need to enable it. It works pretty well with all three models, Nishita, Preetham and Hosek/Wilkie!

Would love that a lot. Maybe color? For non photo realistic

Time ago made arch. So understanding of light distribution over the year sometimes is crucial
