When we look at a landscape or panorama with the naked eye, two factors affect how we see things. 

• The further away from us, the smaller things are. This reduction in size of things that are closer to the horizon happens gradually and proportionally, according to a geometric rule. This is called Linear Perspective.
• The further away from the viewpoint, the duller the colors get, and less defined are the details of the objects. As we look at things closer to the skyline, we see them lighter, foggier, and bluish or cooler color. This is called Aerial (or Atmospheric) Perspective.
