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.

When you are looking at one light from space, the distance means there is no way you can see it. When there are a lot of lights, there is more light bouncing off of the earth and up to space for you to see. You aren’t actually seeing one light, you are looking at a lot of lights that look like one light point. You can’t actually make out one individual light from the whole group you can see. Unless you are using a low earth orbit satellite with a high resolution camera that can really zoom in.
