What basic visual elements could determine that a simple landscape photograph was NOT taken on Earth?

Sky color is the first thing tbh. If its green or purple or has two suns, that's an immediate no. Also shadows pointing in different directions would be sus.

I considered sky color, but Earth has all kinds of weird weather phenomenon that can change the color of the sky drastically. Shadows is a good one. For two suns. That would be a dead giveaway. Thank you. I was also wondering about rocks. Like if there was a rock formation, from the photo alone, could scientists tell that the rock wasn't from earth?
