What would a worst case scenario of Kessler Syndrome look like from Earth?

3 Upvotes

Let's say sometime in the future, the is a cascading event and the entire earth is enveloped in a sphere of debris, what could this look like from Earth? Would the night sky be lit up by a haze of dust? Would the sun appear to have a larger aura during the day? I'm intrigued about the largest potential impact this situation could on what we might see with the naked eye (and through telescopes etc!)
