People who have the hobby of photography, might have some intuitive understanding of this brightness difference. If you are shooting with fixed aperture and ISO, your exposure times could easily go from 1/60 indoors to 1/3000 outdoors which is not quite a 100X difference, but close.



This is true, it wasn't until I started photography that I realized how much darker it was inside compared to outside.


In a similar vein an apartment with a few small windows and one with floor to ceiling on two sides - dramatic difference


It's my job and I still get surprised in the evening at how much the exposure changes when it seems static to my eyes.


Not just the difference between indoor and outdoor light, but also the incredible variations between a sunny day in the summer and a cloudy day in winter. There's a pretty incredible difference.
