Clarity is an effect produced by light.
From the Latin clarĭtas , clarity is the quality of clear (clean, bathed in light, clearly distinguishable, evident, manifest). The concept can refer to the effect that light produces when it illuminates a space.
For example: “I like this house: there is a lot of light in the rooms” , “We have to improve the lighting in this room, we need more light to work comfortably” , “Winter has arrived and the moments of clarity began to fade away.” as the days became shorter and shorter.”
It should also be emphasized that clarity is the good reputation that a specific person has in a society or in a certain place. He has achieved that thanks to his personality and the actions he has been carrying out in his life.
Clarity linked to distinction and understanding
Clarity is also the distinction with which, through the senses, a person perceives sensations or ideas: “I did not understand clearly what he wanted to tell me,” “When entering the house, he thought he perceived a familiar aroma, although not could detect it clearly” , “The writer spoke with astonishing clarity about an extremely complex topic” .
In this sense, we must not forget that, on a regular basis, use is made of an expression that uses the term clarity and that is frequent within the colloquial sphere. This is what is known as meridian clarity . What it tries to express with it is that the idea or manifestation that is being addressed is perfectly understood. An example of this meaning would be the following sentence: “The professor explained the arguments of the topic point by point with crystal clarity. That meant that all the students understood it perfectly.”
A clear expression is one that is easy to understand and intelligible . It can be linked both to the tone of voice and pronunciation, as well as to the way of organizing thoughts to make them known to others: “Because his mouth was swollen from the blow, the boy could not express himself clearly,” “I prefer to think what I am going to say to be able to express myself clearly” , “A teacher must be able to transmit knowledge clearly” .
An explanation is clear when it can be easily understood.
The term in science and as the title of publications
In the same way, we must also highlight the existence of what is known as the clarity index . This is a term that is used in the scientific field to refer to the relationship that exists between what would be the solar irradiation on a horizontal surface that is outside the atmosphere in a year and the irradiation on a surface with similar characteristics but that is on Earth.
In the field of astronomy, this term that we have mentioned is used the most and, therefore, it is used to carry out what is the measurement of the transparency of the atmosphere.
“Claridad” , finally, was the name chosen for various publications throughout history and in different countries, such as a Spanish newspaper, a Puerto Rican weekly, a Chilean magazine and an Argentine publishing house.
