Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aerial perspective refers to the phenomenon wherein distant objects appear hazy or blurred due to atmospheric conditions such as humidity, air pollution or dust in the atmosphere. This leads to a lack of contrast and sharpness, making it difficult to distinguish fine details. The other depth perception cues listed such as motion parallax, relative size and linear perspective are not relevant in this scenario.
