Is the sunlight on Pluto bright enough to read by?
Robert Walker
, Approaching this as a mathematician, interested in the planets
Answered Jul 22, 2015
Yes easily, indeed so bright, you don't lose any of your colour vision. If you go out just after the sun dips below the horizon then that's roughly the light levels for Pluto at midday there.
