Also known as visibility (meteorology), meteorological visibility, visual range
In meteorology, visibility is the measure of the distance at which an object or light can be clearly discerned. It depends on the transparency of the surrounding air and as such, it is unchanging no matter the ambient light level or time of day. It is reported within surface weather observations and METAR code either in meters or statute miles, depending upon the country. Visibility affects all forms of traffic: roads, railways, sailing and aviation.

能見度又稱可見度,指觀察者離物體多遠時仍然可以清楚看見該物體。氣象學中,能見度被定義為大氣的透明度,因此在氣象學裏,同一空氣的能見度在白天和晚上是一樣的。能見度的單位一般為公尺或公里。能見度對於航空、航海和陸上運輸都非常重要。
