The density of fat is very low and so it floats. The misconception is that fat is heavy and sinks, but its low density causes the opposite

What makes homemade chicken stock cloudy and how can it be clarified?

The cloudiness is due to the fat from the chicken and bits of chicken, as well as other ingredients that may be in it, such as carrots, onion, celery, etc. If you want a clear stock you need to chill the stock so the fat will rise to the top. This will also harden the fat, making it easy to remove from the stock. You can then strain the stock through a strainer, which will remove small bits of chicken and any other ingredients. If you want it to be perfectly clear, you can strain it through a cheesecloth. To do this, simply line a colander or with the cheesecloth, the strain.

What is best to reduce fat in soup?

You could use a fat separator if you have one, or you could try to do it the old fashioned way with a ladel or a large spoon. But if you have time before you need the broth, there's a much easier way to do it: refrigerate the broth or stock overnight. The fat weighs less than the stock, so it floats up to the surface, turns an off white color and hardens, whereas the stock is a much darker color and usually gelatinizes. So you can just take a spoon and scoop the fat off the top, and can put the gelatinized stock in a saucepan and re-liquify it by warming it up. I'll often do this with canned broth as well, refrigerate it the day before, then when I open the can the next day, I can just pick up the thin little piece of solidified fat off the top before I use the broth.
