what does it mean by "DIRECT sun (with shelter)"?

“Direct Sun (with shelter)” refers to locations which are semi-outdoors. They are usually a balcony, corridor or window ledge whereby direct sun rays touch the plant leaves. 

The temperature is cooler than a location receiving direct sun (without shelter). Due to the presence of a shelter and structures blocking, sun rays are usually partially blocked and less intense for the plants.
