morning glow

Early daylight radiance

Morning glow is the soft, warm light that appears in the sky around sunrise, when the sun is at or just below the horizon.

The term extends to anything that catches or resembles this light: The morning glow on the mountains was spectacular.

Figuratively, it can describe a fresh, radiant quality: She had that morning glow of someone newly in love.
