When the instructor rotates the Sun with the Rotate tool:

• The instructor has the Gizmo handle position for the Gizmo rotation set to Local.
• If you notice that all Rotation values X, Y, and Z are changing in the Inspector window as you rotate the Sun, your Gizmo handle position for the Gizmo rotation is set to Global.
• You can toggle the Gizmo handle position for the Gizmo rotation by clicking the Global/Local button in the Toolbar.
