Too much excess lighting sends light up into the atmosphere, which scatters the light back to the Earth drowning out all the many celestial objects which there are to see.

∙ 10y agoToo much light from towns and cities is scattered by the atmosphere and this washes out the view of many dim stars, galaxies and nebulae.

Why is there no stars in the day time?
actually, the sun is a star, but we are closest to it so its light stops you seeing any others
Why can you see more stars some nights and fewer on other nights?
I think it is because some stars are covered by dark clouds too far up for us to see and light pollution stops you from seeing all of them because in northumberland in the hill's and valley's at night there was loads of stars because there was no lights hope this answer was helpful to you :))
Why can't you see stars when you're up in a plane?
You cant see stars in an plane because of all the clouds blocking the viewAnswer:Nothing stops you from seeing stars in the night sky when you are in an aeroplane. You cannot see them in the daytime sky for the same reasons that you cannot see them in the daytime sky from the ground. The light from the sun interacts with the atmosphere to produce a scattering of light that overpowers the light from the stars. An aeroplane is only a few kilometers from the ground and still deep in the atmosphere of the earth.
Why can't we see billions of galaxies in the night sky when there are not many clouds in the way?
A lot of the time people who live in cities don't realise how many stars there are in the night sky - because the light pollution from cities keeps you from seeing them. Light pollution is the light from human sources - like cities - that stops us from seeing most stars. The glow of city lights extends up into the night sky. If you have never been to an isolated area, like a national park, at night - you should. Look up at the sky on a clear night and you will see millions of stars. We cannot of course see every galaxy that exists in the night sky - that's because what we call "the night sky" is really only a view of a small part of it. It's a bit like looking out the window of a car as you pass by scenery. As the earth moves, we get to see some of the stars - but because it continues to move, we don't see all of them at once. For example, the stars in the night sky of the Southern Hemisphere are quite different to the stars in the Northern Hemisphere - but again, you will only notice this if you are looking at a night sky clear of light pollution. There are, in addition, some galaxies that we can't see without powerful telescopes because they are too far away to be seen with the naked eye - the light from other stars and galaxies blocks them out.
What stops us from viewing the night sky?
If you live in a big city, light pollution. If you live in the desert, then it's because your lazy!
What stops a stars contraction?
fusion
What happens to light when you turn off the light bulb?
The energy to produce the light stops and the light stops.
How many years are stars dead before their light stops?
When most stars die they form objects calle white dwarves. These will continue to emit light for trillions of years before cooling into black dwarves. This is older than the current age of the universe.
2002 Chevy cavlier fix service lite on?
Scan it for codes, fix what they relate to and light will go out once the computer stops seeing problems in the car's systems.
Are congestion zones a good idea?
In some ways yes, but some ways no. ;) yes because it stops pollution and stops poiseness things
