Earth's City Lights as Seen From Space

What's the brightest place on Earth?

It's not what you think.

The brightest areas of the Earth are the most urbanized, but not all urban areas are created equal. The most brightly lit cities are those located in the most developed countries, and the least brightly lit cities are those located in the least developed countries.

This is due to a number of factors, including the availability of electricity, the level of economic development, and the population density. In developed countries, electricity is widely available and affordable, and the population density is high. This creates a demand for bright lights, which are used to light up streets, buildings, and other structures.

In less developed countries, electricity is often more expensive and less reliable, and the population density is lower. This creates a less demand for bright lights, and the lights that are available are often dimmer.

The difference in brightness between urban areas in developed and less developed countries is striking. In developed countries, the night sky is often lit up by a bright glow, while in less developed countries, the night sky is often much darker.
