Haze

Haze is a product of photochemical smog and is brown/yellow colored.
Its distribution ranges from urban areas to the grand canyon.

Its composition is moslty organic carbon and sulfate, there is also ammonium and nitrate, and nitric acids nuetralized to salts. the particles are sized 0.4-0.8 in diameter (about half that of the wavelegneth of light)

It affects the atmosphere by reducing visual clarity and and scattering the light able to hit the ground.
