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 does earths atmosphere do to starlight?
Makes stars twinkle.
HOW DOES SUN ENERGY AFFECT EARTHS ATMOSPHERE?
Heat!!
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
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 air affect the earths atmosphere?
I do not mean to sound rude or patronising but air IS the atmosphere.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
Why is Carbon-Oxygen2 important for the earths atmosphere?
It is not, because the greenhouse affect causes global warming.
How does burning fossil fuels affect earths atmosphere?
Burning fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere. This can raise global temperatures.
How do geologists think earths atmosphere formed?
how do geologists think earths atmosphere is formed
What are two ways in which astronomers can overcome the distortion of starlight that is caused by the earths atmosphere?
Astronomers can overcome the distortion of starlight caused by Earth's atmosphere by using adaptive optics, which involves real-time adjustments of telescope mirrors to compensate for atmospheric turbulence. Another method is placing telescopes in space, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, which eliminates atmospheric interference altogether, allowing for clearer and more detailed observations of celestial objects.
