Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aerial perspective is the depth cue that refers to the haziness or blurring of objects in the distance due to atmospheric conditions such as dust, moisture, or pollution. This causes distant objects to appear less vivid in color, contrast, and detail compared to objects that are close by. The other depth cues listed (motion parallax, texture gradient, and linear perspective) do not pertain to the clarity or haziness of distant objects.
