Explanation about how to see the earth night from others planet: 

Can you find your favorite country or city? Surprisingly, on this world-wide night escape, city lights make this task quite possible. Human-made lights to attract attention to or emphasize something important particularly developed or populated  areas of the Earth's surface, including the seaboards of Europe, the eastern United States, and Japan. Many  large cities are located near rivers or oceans so that they can exchange products cheaply by boat. Especially  dark areas include the central parts of South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The featured composite(specialized a structural material made up of more than one substance) was created from images that were collected during cloud-free periods in April and October 2012 by the Suomi-NPP satellite, from a polar orbit about 824 kilometers above the surface, using its Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).
