Visibility

Object Visibility

Object visibility in astronomy refers to the ability to observe a celestial object, such as a star, planet, or galaxy, from a specific location on Earth at a particular time. Visibility depends on factors like the object's altitude above the horizon, the time of day or night, the observer's geographic location, and atmospheric conditions such as cloud cover or light pollution. An object is considered visible when it rises above the horizon and remains observable, typically measured from its rise to set time.
