This paper presents first results of the measurement of sky glow, caused by the artificial light scattered in atmosphere (i.e. artificial sky glow). Measurements were made in the big city and its surroundings (Cracow, Poland). The boundary of “city light island” was delimitated. Also, the relationship of artificial sky glow to cloud cover and snow-cover has been checked.
