Best Answer

Light pollution effects animals especially nocturnal animals by interfering with their behaviour. Here is an example: sea turtle babies when hatched have an instinct to go towards light which usually is the full moon. But if you have car lights and people having lights on in there house it attracts them away from the moon. Sometimes turtles die and don't make it to the sea.
