(hÄz) n. 1. a. Atmospheric moisture, dust, smoke, and vapor that diminishes visibility. b. A partially opaque covering: Let the polish dry to a haze before buffing it.
While not always immediately visible to the naked eye, haze can show up in imaging studies, particularly with the use of filters to polarize the landscape and make patterns in the air more visible. Particles in the haze can block and absorb sunshine, changing the way light behaves. This can be observed at dawn and dusk, where the light may appear especially vivid or strange because of the way the haze interrupts the transmission of light.
