visibility

How far seen

Visibility is the ability to see or be seen, often measured by distance: Visibility dropped to near zero in the fog.

It extends to prominence or public awareness: The campaign increased visibility for the cause.

In business and technology, visibility means access to information about status or progress: We need better visibility into the supply chain.
