Despite the fact that the haze is quite a common atmospheric phenomenon, many people consider it a mystical omen. The reason for this is the old myths that describe it as a bad omen or leprosy of evil spirits. Fortunately, over the years, people have less and less faith in such tales.
And yet, what is the haze? Is it an ordinary cloud of dust or is there something else? How is this atmospheric phenomenon formed? And does it pose a threat to people? Well, let's figure it all out.
Meaning of the word "haze"
As you know, nothing can emerge from the void. This rule applies to this phenomenon, so you should not believe the tales, but you need to listen to the verified facts. So, haze is a cloud of air caused by a large accumulation of dark particles. For example, it can be dust or the same snow.
What lifts them up? In fact, this can be caused by many factors: wind, fire, blizzard, and so on. More importantly, because of their low weight, they soar for a long time in the air, thereby forming a kind of veil.
Depending on the amount and type of these particles, the haze itself also changes. For example, a sandstorm in Dubai can leave behind a haze that can hide objects from the eyes at a distance of hundreds of meters.
Sand or dusty haze
If we talk about the causes of this atmospheric phenomenon, then often the usual sand or dust is to blame. And if sand is for the most part a problem of those who live in hot countries, then dust is omnipresent.
Quite often, in big cities, after a strong wind, a haze appears in the air. This is a punishment for the lifestyle that a person leads. And the larger the city, the more impenetrable is the darkness in it.
Snow cover
However, haze is not always bad. For example, in winter, such a phenomenon causes only joyful feelings. After all, the snowy gloom is millions of snowflakes, slowly circling in the air, as if under the guidance of an invisible conductor. On such days, even the biggest skeptic begins to doubt his beliefs.
