The lighting of an overcast sky produces few visible shadows. The absence of diffusing atmospheric effects in the vacuum of outer space produces shadows that are stark and sharply delineated by high-contrast boundaries between light and dark.
It is also called sky radiation, the determinative process for changing the colors of the sky. Approximately 23% of direct incident radiation of total daylight is removed from the direct solar beam by scattering into the atmosphere; of this amount (of incident radiation) about two-thirds ultimately reaches the earth as photon diffused skylight ...

Overcast, low-level clouds. ... so there’s hope for some clearing compared to an overcast sky. A broken layer of clouds passes below a solar eclipse in Mumbai, India, on December 26, 2019. ...
The antumbra (from the Latin ante "before" and umbra "shadow") is the region from which the occluding body appears entirely within the disc of the light source. An observer in this region experiences an annular eclipse , in which a bright ring is visible around the eclipsing body.
Light pollution, the term for the brightening of the night sky by unnatural lights, is increasing worldwide. On average, skies are getting 10% brighter each year globally, with the fastest rate of ...
Overcast or overcast weather, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization, is the meteorological condition of clouds obscuring at least 95% of the sky. [1] However, the total cloud cover must not be entirely due to obscuring phenomena near the surface, such as fog .
3D animation of ambient occlusion enabled on the animation to the right. In the absence of hardware-assisted ray traced ambient occlusion, real-time applications such as computer games can use screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO) techniques such as horizon-based ambient occlusion including HBAO and ground-truth ambient occlusion (GTAO) as a faster approximation of true ambient occlusion ...
