what does it mean by "indirect sun (filtered by windows)"?

When sun rays passes through glass windows and touches the leaves of your plant for at least 4-6 hours a day, your plant is said to be receiving indirect sun (filtered by windows). In this light intensity, your plant will cast a dark and defined shadow when placed about 30cm away from a white canvas. 

This is the ideal type of sun for most houseplants, because it provides them with sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis while preventing them from being sunburnt or drying out.
