Scientific paper

Estimates of the luminosity and brightness of the Fresnel reflection of solar light from the Venusian atmosphere were obtained for phase angles ranging from 173 to 179 degrees. The luminosity is compared with that resulting from solar radiation diffuse reflected from the planet. A method of recording solar Fresnel reflection from the Venusian atmosphere by means of a coronagraph carried by a satellite and a ground-based coronograph at phase angles above 175.5 degrees is described, and the resolving powers of both coronographs, required for such measurements, are calculated.
