Space Physics
Airglow emissions refer to the faint natural light produced in the Earth's atmosphere due to various photochemical reactions involving atoms and molecules. These emissions primarily occur at night when sunlight is absent, and they can be observed in different wavelengths, including visible light and infrared. The presence of airglow is closely linked to atmospheric composition and ionization processes, which are fundamental aspects of physical processes in space environments.
congrats on reading the definition of airglow emissions. now let's actually learn it.
