Radiance is common metric to estimate light pollution. In Remote Sensing, radiance is the amount of light measured by the satellite sensor of a particular location. Radiance mean is taking multiple radiance measures for various locations in each city and estimating the average.
Regression Charts
These charts show the relationship between light pollution and mental health, health risk behaviors, major health conditions, and sleep.
Note:
There does not seem to be a strong relationship between light pollution and various health metrics according to this data. However, we hope this visualization has taught you more about light pollution and its possible risks.
