Relative Clarity: on perceives objects as farther away, if the appearance of them is made hazy (like fog, smoke, or snow), because light from objects in the distance pass through more atmosphere, which is also why clear objects are seen as closer than their hazy counterparts

Example: This clear, focused flower in the center of the image seems closer than the blurry flowers behind it, due to relative clarity
