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.

Why do stars twinkie outside your atmosphere?
Stars appear to twinkle when viewed from Earth because of the distortion of light as it passes through Earth's atmosphere. The varying density and temperature of the air cause the light from the star to be refracted, creating the twinkling effect. This effect is not seen in space where there is no atmosphere to distort the starlight.
This is the amount of starlight received on earth?
The amount of starlight received on Earth varies depending on factors like the distance from the star, the star's luminosity, and atmospheric conditions. On average, about 1 billionth of the total light emitted by the Sun reaches Earth's surface, providing energy for life and driving Earth's climate system.
What do you mean by blue stars shiver in the distance?
This phrase likely refers to the twinkling effect observed when looking at distant stars through Earth's atmosphere. The twinkling, or shivering, of blue stars is caused by the turbulence in the atmosphere bending and scattering the starlight as it reaches our eyes.
Which vast explains how greenhouse gases affect earth?
They stop heat from escaping the atmosphere- apex
How can comets and asteroids affect earth?
Comets and asteroids can potentially impact Earth, causing damage due to the energy released upon impact. They can also bring valuable resources to our planet, such as water and metals. Additionally, dust and gas released by comets passing close to Earth can affect our atmosphere and climate.
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 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.
Does air affect Earth's atmosphere?
Air is Earth's atmosphere.
How does sunlight and starlight travel to earth and what happens when it meets your atmosphere?
waves in the aether. Gunboat Gladstone, Tarporley

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?
sexy
Is global warming on Earth going to affect the Moon?
Earth's atmosphere has no effect on the moon.
What is space weather and how does it affect Earth?
The term "space weather" refers to conditions on the surface of the Sun that ultimately affect Earth and its atmosphere.
