"Parallel: This is the ideal light for simulating the sun. Radial light can be used to represent the sun since it is a star that is located at a concrete point and that emits light in all directions. However, in relation to us, the sun is located far, far away. So much so that, to position a luminous point thousands of kilometres away is not practical. Thats why parallel light is used: it is called parallel because the rays emitted are parallel, virtually like the rays of the sun when they reach the Earth. The rays remain parallel even when placed close to the scene."
