Abstract
⺠The optical depth of the martian atmosphere determines the brightness of shadows. ⺠We estimate the optical depth from the brightness of shadows in orbiter images. ⺠It is best to use images taken in colors between yellow and red. ⺠Two case studies suggest an accuracy of ±15% or better between yellow and red.
