what does it mean by "DIRECT sun (no shelter)"?

“Direct Sun (no shelter)” refers to locations exposed to full sun and rain outdoors. When the plant is placed about 30cm away from a white canvas, the shadow formed by the leaves is very dark and the shape is very defined. 

In this type of light, unfiltered sun rays touch the leaves of plants directly for at least 4-6 hours every day.
