daylight hours
Between dawn, dusk
Daylight hours are the portion of the day when the sun is above the horizon—from sunrise to sunset.
The phrase emphasizes the period of natural light as distinct from nighttime: Construction is limited to daylight hours, We want to arrive during daylight hours.
The length varies by season and latitude.
