Parameters in inspector

Sun – reference to Light source which will be moved

Day Length – length of day in seconds

You can also set current time of day via code. For this, you need to inject this system to needed class and call SetTimeOfDay method, like shown below:

[Inject] private IDayTimeController dayTimeController;

private void ExampleMethod()
{
    // 0 is sunrise
    dayTimeController.SetTimeOfDay(0f);
    
    // 1 is sunrise too
    dayTimeController.SetTimeOfDay(1f);

    // 0.5 is sunset
    dayTimeController.SetTimeOfDay(0.5f);
}

You should pass number from 0 to 1 as parameter, where 0 is sunrise, 0.5 is sunset and 1 is sunrise again. It's easier to understand with this simple diagram:
