Haze horizon

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-005128

The apparent boundary in the atmosphere where visibility is significantly reduced due to the presence of haze. This horizon is often observed as a distinct line where the sky appears clearer above and hazier below. It is frequently associated with atmospheric inversions that trap pollutants.
