atmospheric haze
Sky's visible pollution
Atmospheric haze is a reduction in visibility caused by fine particles suspended in the air—dust, smoke, moisture, or pollution scattering light between the viewer and distant objects.
Mountains fade to blue-gray in atmospheric haze; city skylines blur on smoggy days.
In art and photography, the effect creates depth by making distant objects appear lighter and less distinct than near ones.
