sunshine
Bright cloudless day
Sunshine is the light and warmth that comes from the sun, or the condition of receiving it: Let's move into the sunshine.
By extension, sunshine describes anything bright and cheerful—a sunny disposition, a source of happiness: You are my sunshine.
As a form of address, sunshine can be affectionate or mildly sarcastic: Listen here, sunshine.
Sunshine laws require government proceedings to be open to the public, bringing them "into the light."
