Light pollution causes more opacity in the night sky. The best observations are done in the darkest skies. As cities grow, areas with optimal viewing are reducing. Most lighting points in all directions. There are movements to get new lights that are directed downward, where they are most useful for the purpose they were invented for.
Light pollution is when many urban lights, such as street lights, reflect a lot of artificial light into the Earth's atmosphere - which obscures many different stars and is a disaster for astronomers.
Light pollution is generally the scatter of many lights or powerful lights in an area, where they illuminate the night sky, making it difficult to see outer space. This can sometimes be seen as a waste of energy.
Answer: Light pollution can take one of two forms * For astronomers light pollution refers to the lights from urban developments which make the stars more difficult to see by making the sky brighter at night. City planners are responding by putting caps on streetlights to reduce light directed sky wards * Some livestock farmers report that the lights at night affect the sleeping patterns of animals reducing their productivity. Mink farmers in particular indicate that coloured lights may impact the sex ratios in litters. Blue lights, like highway lights, lead to more (undesirable) male kits.

Light pollution is not a crime yet, but buildings should atempt to reduce it. Light pollution is still a crime against the environment.
Light pollution does not affect astronauts, it affects astronomers.
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.
Some FALSE facts on light pollution are: 1. Astronomers benefit from light pollution as it helps them to study stars. 2. All stars are visible in the night sky when viewed from a light polluted city. 3. Light pollution is good for the environment. 4. Light pollution doesn't affect human sleep cycles.
Light pollution promotes stress, fatigue, sleeplessness, and mental problems. Recent studies have shown that light pollution promotes erectile disfunction.
Yes. Light pollution is when ANY KIND OF LIGHT disrupts people, or disrupts the eco-system.
More then 5 thousand a year die from light pollution.
you direct light downwards
traffic polution is like normal pollution though it is sound, light and chemical pollution
Air pollution, water pollution, ground pollution, light pollution (interferes with observing the sky at night; is caused by unshielded artificial lights), and noise pollution.
Light is what causes light pollution. Neon by itself won't do a thing unless used in a lit neon sign.
