Most of the previously published results of the zenith sky twilight brightness, obtained by different investigators, are given in different units. These results have been converted to (mag/arcsec²) to make a comparison between them. The variation of the colour indices (B-V) and (B-R) of the zenith sky twilight with the sun’s depression will be studied. The present photometric results of the zenith sky twilight brightness expressed in mag/arcsec², have been obtained for the first time for blue, yellow and red colours.

... The brightness of the sky in twilight is a function of the angle β. For instance, on the edge of civil twilight and nautical twilight, i.e., at β = 6°, the apparent brightness of the sky is 13.1 mag/arcsec 2 (Nawar et al., 2020). In our measurements, we gather flux using a circular aperture having a radius of 100 effective pixels (i.e., those emerging after the 2 × 2 binning). ...
