I figure the diffuse glow up there is light being reflected around by the atmosphere, which isn’t present in most of the solar system.

  Hmm, I've always figured it's a bit of eyes blurring "bright" lights (the stars you can see), and a bit that there are lots of really dim stars that you can't really see, but add in some light. I don't actually know though.
