Airglow made visible from aboard the ISS. Sky brightness refers to the visual perception of the sky and how it scatters and diffuses light. The fact that the sky is not completely dark at night is easily visible.
A clear daytime sky, looking toward the zenith. Earth's atmosphere scatters short-wavelength light more efficiently than that of longer wavelengths. Because its wavelengths are shorter, blue light is more strongly scattered than the longer-wavelength lights, red or green.
The Rayleigh sky model describes the observed polarization pattern of the daytime sky.Within the atmosphere, Rayleigh scattering of light by air molecules, water, dust, and aerosols causes the sky's light to have a defined polarization pattern.

Weather permitting, Jupiter will not only be brighter than most other stars and planets in the evening sky, but will also be visible all night long.
The Milky Way is brighter in the Southern Hemisphere than in the North. (Photo taken at La Silla Observatory) [2]. The fact that the sky is not completely dark at night, even in the absence of moonlight and city lights, can be easily observed, since if the sky were absolutely dark, one would not be able to see the silhouette of an object against the sky.
