Is haze density a parameter for the atmosphere as seen from the surface of a planet, or will it visually effect the planet as seen from orbit as well?

Here's a comparison of the haze used for Saturn.
The images on the right show the default Celestia haze setting of 0.25.
The images on the left have a haze setting of 0.1.



The upper images are seen from orbit. The lower images are on the surface after a Ctrl-G.
As you can see, the haze density setting affects both.

System:

512MB, 2.4GHz P4; WinXP Pro sp2
128MB FX5200, Forceware v66.81
Celestia v1.4.0pre6

Haze is not functioning for the more recent rendering paths including OpenGL 2.0.

Hey Selden...

Thanks. That certainly explains why my planet I'm working on makes me feel like I need glasses! I had thought to make it a hazy world from the surface due to a massive amount of particulates, so I gave it a value of 0.95! Thought I was going blind there for a minute!
