  2. Planetshine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetshine

    Clementine's camera reveals (from right to left) the Moon lit by earthshine, the Sun's glare rising over the Moon's dark limb, and the planets Saturn, Mars, and Mercury (the three dots at lower left). Planetshine is the dim illumination, by sunlight reflected from a planet, of all or part of the otherwise dark side of any moon orbiting the body.

    In many cases it is not possible to have an exact value, and an estimated range is instead provided. The coldest and oldest planet directly imaged is Epsilon Indi Ab, which has six times Jupiter's mass, an effective temperature of 275 K, and an age of about 3.5 Ga. This list includes the four members of the multi-planet system that orbit HR 8799.

  4. Earthlight (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthlight_(astronomy)

    This is only 0.01% of the radiance from direct Sunlight. [4] Earthshine has a calculated maximum apparent magnitude of −3.69 as viewed from Earth. [3] This phenomenon is most visible from Earth at night (or astronomical twilight) a few days before or after the day of new moon, [5] when the lunar phase is a thin crescent. On these nights, the ...

    Planetshine – Illumination by reflected sunlight from a planet Earthshine – Light reflected from the Earth; Zodiacal light – Faint solar glow caused by interplanetary dust at sunset and sunrise; Gegenschein – Optical effect of interplanetary dust reflections

  6. Planetary phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_phase

    A planetary phase is a certain portion of a planet's area that reflects sunlight as viewed from a given vantage point, as well as the period of time during which it occurs. The phase is determined by the phase angle , which is the angle between the planet, the Sun and the Earth.

  7. Solar System - Wikipedia

    Thus, the Sun occupies 0.00001% (1 part in 10 7) of the volume of a sphere with a radius the size of Earth's orbit, whereas Earth's volume is roughly 1 millionth (10 −6) that of the Sun. Jupiter, the largest planet, is 5.2 AU from the Sun and has a radius of 71,000 km (0.00047 AU; 44,000 mi), whereas the most distant planet, Neptune, is 30 AU ...

  8. Atmospheric optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_optics

    These result from a combination of internal reflection and dispersive refraction of light in raindrops. Because rainbows are seen on the opposite side of the sky from the Sun, rainbows are more visible the closer the Sun is to the horizon. For example, if the Sun is overhead, any possible rainbow appears near an observer's feet, making it hard ...
