sunny

Full of light

Sunny describes weather with abundant sunlight and few clouds: a sunny afternoon, sunny skies.

By extension, sunny characterizes anything bright, cheerful, or optimistic: a sunny disposition, a sunny outlook on life.

A sunny spot in a garden gets good light.

The sunny side of something is its positive aspect—or with eggs, cooked on one side only.
