What is light pollution?
It is when the night sky becomes so bright, astronomical observation isn't possible, and the ecosystem is distorted.
Light pollution is usually found in industrialized areas and is particularly serious in the U.S.A., Europe, Japan, and almost all other places with a very dense population.Influence of light pollution?
Light pollution is due to excessive or unnecessary light. Some examples of areas that add to cities' light pollution are, homes, companies, factories, street lights, sports grounds, and so on.
What should we do to get rid of light pollution?
Preventing light pollution is just as hard as preventing any other type of pollution. If we turn off lights, the dark sky returns immediately; however, this is very really difficult. Light pollution is deeply associated with industrialization.
