Parallax
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007797
The apparent shift in the position of an object when viewed from different angles or positions. This phenomenon occurs because the observer's line of sight changes, causing the object to appear to move against a more distant background. In meteorology, parallax can affect the perceived height or location of clouds when observed from different points.
