atmospheric perspective
Linear perspective is about the size and proportions of objects represented in a piece. Atmospheric perspective is about the clarity and detail of these objects. Most art that tries to replicate 3-dimensional scenes in 2-dimensions uses both.
Mountains in a distance will often look blue or purple because of the refraction of light. It is properly called atmospheric perspective by artists.
This term ususally refers to atmospheric temperatures below zero.As there are other references, please access the related Wikipedia link listed below:
Lil' Wayne coined the term when he was younger.

Giotto contributed to the Renaissance's use of atmospheric perspective as he showed he showed it first in his artworks. Gentile da Fabriano's Adoration of the Magi (1422) would be the first one in the period but Masaccio's Tribute Money (1426) is the first one which showed the accurate use of atmospheric perspective.
Weather is the term for the day-to-day atmospheric conditions of a place. Climate is the term for the general atmospheric conditions of a place over the course of a year.
Many paintings offer an illustration of both atmospheric and linear perspective, I would recommend Looking at Claude Lorrain's 1648 oil painting "Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba". Linear perspective can be seen by the straight lines which angle in towards the sun on the horizon. Atmospheric perspective can be seen by the way the closest building is detailed and the farther buildings have less detail.

Linear perspective is created by making closer objects appear larger than farther objects, proportionate to the distance between lines that recede towards a vanishing point on the horizon. Atmospheric perspective shows objects that are closer to the foreground with more detail than objects that are farther away. Realistic artworks normally use both.
It wasn't "invented". It exists whenever the planet's atmosphere forms.
