WHY IS AIR INVISIBLE?

Air is made up mostly of nitrogen and oxygen molecules that are


 spreadtoo thinly to affect light noticeably by, say, altering its colour or intensity. Even so, air’s presence is revealed in hot weather
through the shimmering effect called ‘heat haze’.

This is the result of the heat causing fluctuations in the density of the air, which, in turn, affects its optical properties.
