How can a high amount of aerosol particles affect local temperature and visibility?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They can scatter radiation, reduce visibility and change thermal effects
Aerosols are fine solid or liquid particles suspended in air. They scatter and sometimes absorb sunlight, producing haze and reducing visibility; depending on their composition, altitude and surface conditions, they may cool the surface by reflecting radiation or contribute to localized warming by absorbing it. They can also act as cloud-condensation nuclei. Thus option D is correct, while A, B and C are exaggerated or unrelated.
