Artificial Lights Make Earth Shine Brighter At Night, Shows Space Data
Recent satellite data have revealed that Earth’s nights are becoming increasingly brighter due to a sharp rise in artificial lighting across the globe. Scientists have found that this change is not uniform, with different regions showing varied trends based on development, energy access, and socio-political factors. A global study has shown that artificial lighting increased by around 16% between 2014 and 2022. The findings highlight that nighttime brightness does not simply grow
