Replicating the effects of sunrise/sunset
That's true, although it won't make a huge difference, but if we're talking proper representation of sunlight then I would rather use an actual astronomer's library to simply pull the sun's angle from. For example using https://github.com/sffjunkie/astral where the sun.elevation function returns the angle of the sun. However as the practical maximum angle isn't normally 90 degrees, you need to also calculate the maximum angle for that day too using that day's noon as the elevation's moment parameter:

Time Data Series: Getting Started with PHP Zmanim
The PHPZmanim library is maintained by Zachary Weixelbaum. As with so many things in tech today, PHP Zmanim is, itself, based on the foundational Kosher Java library by Eliyahu Hershfeld. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to both Zachary and Eliyahu – not only for the work they put into developing those libraries, but also for the support they have given me as I came up to speed on both the technical and Jewish religious guidelines (halacha) needed to use them.
