Scientific paper

The results of visual observations and photographing of Fresnel reflection of sunlight from the earth's atmosphere and the atmosphere of the comet Kohoutek performed from the manned spacecrafts Voskhod-2, Soyuz-5, Salut, Soyuz-13, Apollo-12 and Skylab are discussed. The Fresnel reflection factor of the earth's atmosphere is evaluated, along with the possibility of observing the Fresnel reflection of stellar light from the night-side atmosphere of the earth. The possibility of assessing the refractive index and density of planetary and cometary atmospheres on the basis of Fresnel reflection data is demonstrated.
