How to implement a day/night cycle in a browser game?

Question

JavaScript

I am looking for solutions for the change of day and night (the movement of the stars) in a browser-based isometric game.
The only solution I found is several sprite backgrounds with different lighting that change on a timer.
The sprite of the character on the territory where the lighting changes does not move, which makes the task easier.
Are there any other solutions to this problem? For example on canvas.

I don't know what kind of engine you use, but maybe this solution will help you .
