  "term": "Haze horizon",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A visible boundary in the atmosphere where the concentration of suspended particulate matter is sufficiently high to obscure distant objects. This phenomenon occurs when light scattering by aerosols reduces visibility, creating a distinct line where the sky appears to meet the hazy air. The altitude of the haze horizon can vary depending on atmospheric stability and the distribution of pollutants.",
