Some time ago, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released a map of global night lighting.
The spatial photography of urban night scenes reflects the imbalance of global GDP. In the world, the United States is the brightest, especially in the eastern United States.
There are both developed and developing countries in Asia. China and India are both countries with large population and rapid economic development, especially in eastern China. As a developed country, the lighting in Japan is more intensive.
As two Korean-speaking countries, the contrast between South Korea and North Korea is also obvious.
The larger the lighting area, the more developed the national economy, but
There are also small partners who have discovered amazing secrets from the text:
What are the economic and power development levels of China and India? Come on! Data don't lie.
India can find more accurate data from 20 15, so we choose the data from China 20 15 for comparison.
First, the comparison of power development between China and India. In 20 15, the total installed power generation capacity of China was more than five times that of India, and the per capita electricity consumption was almost four times that of China.

Then the gross domestic product, er, I believe you can understand this yourself. 20 16, the gap widened slightly ~

No contrast, no harm!
Although India's economy is also developing rapidly, there is still a certain gap between India and China in terms of economic development and power development level.
According to India's Economic Times, more than 300 million people in India still live without electricity. A survey shows that there are still more than18,000 villages in India without electricity.
What about the lighting problem?
Because this picture has nothing to do with underdevelopment, the wrong conclusion is wrong anyway, and the pseudo-color light pollution picture produced by the intensity of light is the magic mirror. This NASA light map does not distinguish the intensity of light.
Only the light > 6W/cm2*sr orange red is the land of industrial zone and tertiary industry, even the coastal towns are red, and only the mountainous countryside is green.
From the above picture, it is found that India is blue and green, and red, yellow and orange are rare. But only places with orange lights are economically developed areas, and places with more green are not developed at all ~
I have answered that before, which is relatively complete. If you are interested, you can find and adopt.
