Roofs of Long span structures are made of steel trusses. They are can be designed with glazing ( inclined glass panels towards north sky) on north side, since in northern hemisphere there is no direct or harsh sun light in north. It provides a very consistent light indoors. Now a days even south lighting is also used for a more intense lighting. Proper care should be taken for rain water draining at glazed panels.
truss
A roof truss must be engineered to perform under specific load requirements. Normally, building codes require a structural engineer's stamp of approval on truss design. Trusses are usually built on a flat surface using various grades of wood, with plywood or metal gussets joining the various pieces of the truss together. Multiple identical trusses are built with the use of a jig.
depend on what you want it to look like a lot of people go with a scissor truss on there houses

it can get more amount of light north point...as we check north point always
A 'Skylight' and a'Roof Truss' are 2totally different parts of a building. A roof truss is a timber or steel framework used to carry the roof cladding. A skylight is a panel in a roof which contains a panel of clear plastic or glass which allows the sunlight to shine into the room of the building.
Each roof truss is structurally designed for a particular situation. Where a truss overhangs or extends beyond a supporting wall, so that the truss is partly cantilevered (e.g. in a deep eave), the calculations by the truss designer will take this into account.

When designing a top chord truss for a roof structure, key considerations include the span of the truss, the load it will bear, the material used, the pitch of the roof, and any additional support needed for stability. It is important to ensure that the truss is structurally sound and able to support the weight of the roof and any potential snow or wind loads.
To build a roof truss effectively and efficiently, start by designing the truss using a computer software or by hand. Then, gather the necessary materials such as lumber and metal connectors. Next, assemble the truss on a flat surface following the design specifications. Use a nail gun or screws to secure the joints. Finally, lift the truss into place on the roof and secure it to the walls and support beams.

Usually Fir or Yellow Pine.
They each have their place, but on the same style roof, trusses would be stronger.
