Why a single light pole isn’t visible from space but a city full of individual ones is?

262 views

I can’t wrap my head around this. The light poles are still emiting light individually, so how do they get merged into one single source of light when viewed from space and become visible? It feels logical to me that one light pole should look the same as a hundred thousand since they’re just a repetition of one light pole with each one acting separately.

Take a look at LED floodlights. One LED can only put out so much light by itself, but if they pack 50 of them in a bulb it becomes very bright.
