This study aims to identify the phenomenon of light pollution, its causes, the importance of prevention, why it has a stronger effect in large cities than rural cities, and its impact on the environment in the city of Sabya. Hence, we began to suggest the following: Research questions and hypotheses:
-Does light pollution affect the environmental system in the city of Sabya?
Hypothesis:
- There is an impact of light pollution on the environmental system in the city of Sabya.
procedures:
We used the observational and descriptive survey method . Aquestionnaire was distributed to a random sample, and we used a light pollution map, a camera, a computer, pen and paper, a reflective astronomical telescope, and a GBS device, the GLOBE environmental site.
Results:
Light pollution has an impact on the ecosystem, and there is a big difference between light pollution in large cities and rural cities, and there is a positive relationship between light pollution and the environmental system.
Conclusions:
- Light pollution affects the ecosystem and there are also ways to reduce it.
- This study helps to reduce light pollution, so it will have a positive aspect in terms of the ability of living organisms, and the eyes in particular, to relax and calm down, as well as for astronomical observation.
