=== Sky glow === [[Skyglow|Sky glow]] is the bright haze above cities that is produced from excessive artificial lighting at night.<ref name="Chepesiuk-2009" /> This type of light pollution is created from artificial light reflecting in the sky and bouncing around the different types of particles that reside in the atmosphere<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Kaushik |first1=Komal |last2=Nair |first2=Soumya |last3=Ahamad |first3=Arif |date=September 2022 |title=Studying light pollution as an emerging environmental concern in India |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jum.2022.05.012 |journal=Journal of Urban Management |volume=11 |issue=3 |pages=392–405 |doi=10.1016/j.jum.2022.05.012 |issn=2226-5856 |hdl-access=free |hdl=10419/271475}}</ref> The effect of sky glow can be harmful in [[astronomy]] and on the health of many organisms.
