API Reference / extinctionMag · function

Function: extinctionMag()

function extinctionMag(altAppDeg, k?): number;

Atmospheric extinction in magnitudes at an apparent altitude: k mag per air mass (default 0.2, a clear-sky visual coefficient; hazy sites run 0.3+). This is the dimming the horizon note describes -- computed, so a render pipeline consumes a number instead of re-inventing the physics.
