No, it would not. Telescopes located on mountaintops ... above most of
the atmosphere ... work much better than telescopes located in valleys do.
And, viewed from the moon, where there's no atmosphere at all, the stars
are plainly visible in the sky even when the sun is too.

What is the impact on astronomy?
The answer depends on the impact of WHAT?
Why is light an important tool used in astronomy?
Stars are the sources of light. If they did not emit light, there would be no stars and thus no astronomy.
Name the four great mathematicians who had a profound impact on astronomy.?
Kepler, Newton, Lagrange, Einstein.
Has pollution altered living things?
Pollution has had a great impact on living things. Fish that live in polluted water have had to alter the foods that they eat to survive.
What does this field astronomy studies?
- Astrophysics - Observational astronomy - Radio astronomy - Astrometry - Galactic astronomy - Extragalactic astronomy - Stellar astronomy - Solar Astronomy - Theoretical astronomy - Cosmology - Celestial Mechanics
How could light pollution and air pollution effect astronomy?
Light pollution and air pollution effect astronomy by making it more difficult to view the stars. If you notice, when you get out of the cities where there is less air and light pollution, you are better able to view the stars.

What types of pollution have the greatest impact on the Chesapeake Bay?
Air pollution and factory pollution have the greatest impact on the Chesapeake Bay.
Would the moon be a good place to do astronomy?
Yes. There is no atmosphere there, so the sky would be clearer. There would be no light pollution which would also help. The study of the Moon itself is part of astronomy, so that could be done. It would also be good for studying the Earth, which would be helpful for astronomy. For these and many other reasons, the Moon would be a good place to do astronomy.

How do humans impact soil?
Impact of soil pollution
What types of pollution?
Air pollution Water pollution Light pollution
What are the Effects of lighting?
Typically it is suggested that the result of light pollution is that there are less stars visible in the sky, as well as other celestial bodies.However light pollution can have several other impacts:Lights attract birds that fly around, and into, lighted buildings at night and kill themselves by impact or exhaustion,Light impacts the sex ratios in litters of some animals such as minks. Farmers want more male kits as the pelts are more valuable but the wrong colour of light from highway lighting can impact this ratio.Plants use duration of daylight to impact periods for growth and setting of fruit. Artificial light can impact this timing.
How does light pollution impact our environment?
Light pollution has two types of impacts: * A bright sky makes it more difficult for astronomers to smake observations * Local lights can impact breeding cycles and litter sex distributions in several species of animal (e.g. minks). This is important as hte female minks are more valuable to the mink farmer.
What is a Light ratio in astronomy?
albedo
What impact has the Olympics had on Beijing?
air pollution is an impact on the Beijing Olympics
How are light and astronomy related?
Studying light is one part of astronomy. Things like the speed of light, how it travels, the spectrum of light are all things that are used in studying astronomy. Studying light emitted from a star can tell us all sorts of things about it, like how far away it is and how bright it really is.
