Visibility reduction
Visibility reduction refers to a decrease in the distance you can see clearly, often caused by factors like fog, heavy rain, snow, or pollution. These conditions introduce particles or moisture into the air that scatter or block light, making distant objects appear hazy or blurred. Reduced visibility can affect driving, outdoor activities, and safety, especially when it reaches levels where seeing road signs, other vehicles, or obstacles becomes difficult. It is a temporary change in how well you can see, usually improving once the weather or air quality conditions improve.
