The atmosphere affect visibility in many ways.
The atmosphere can at places and occasions be rich in water, dust, minerals and various gases that are in a higher concentration than normal.
This in combination with pressure shifts affect clarity, color and visibility.
Pressure shifts can slightly enlarge, minimize or otherwise distort the view.
Not always visible by the human eye, but in high resolution imagery of the sky, this is a factor that is payed great attention to. Mostly why high tech observatories are placed on high mountain grounds where there is less atmosphere.
When studying galaxies far away, this visual distortion by the atmosphere calls for equipment placed in outer space instead.
Water and various gases in the atmosphere causes the light to split up and it changes colour as well as it distorts.
Dust... Well.. It is not easy to see clearly very far in a sandstorm is it.
What else can I help you with?
How much starlight is received on the Earth?
The amount of starlight received on Earth varies depending on factors such as time of day, location, and atmospheric conditions. On average, about 1 billionth of the total starlight emitted from all stars reaches the surface of the Earth. This is due to factors such as distance, absorption and scattering by the atmosphere, and Earth's rotation.
How does the lack of an atmosphere in space affect the reflection of starlight?
The lack of atmosphere in space means there are no particles to scatter or absorb starlight. This allows starlight to travel through space unaffected, resulting in clearer and sharper images of stars as observed from telescopes or spacecraft.
How does sunlight and starlight travel to earth and what happens when it meets your atmosphere?
waves in the aether. Gunboat Gladstone, Tarporley

Does air affect Earth's atmosphere?
Air is Earth's atmosphere.
What are the primary telescope mirrors that are continuously adjusted to compensate for the distortion of starlight due to the motion of Earth's atmosphere?
Adaptive Optics
What can cause the spectrum of stars to vary?
Our atmosphere changing (filters) the starlight being viewed from Earth. It is said that the sparkling (twinkling) of the stars is caused by the dust floating in our atmosphere.
What does earths atmosphere do to starlight?
Makes stars twinkle.
How does the rock cycle affect the atmosphere of the earth?
The rock cycle does not directly affect the atmosphere of the Earth. However, the processes within the rock cycle, such as weathering and erosion, can release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This can impact the Earth's climate by contributing to the greenhouse effect.
What activities that humans carry out affect the earth and atmosphere?

Is global warming on Earth going to affect the Moon?
Earth's atmosphere has no effect on the moon.
