how far you can see
How far or how clearly you can see, usually because of weather, light, or smoke.
Vartosenos šablonas:
visibility is [adjective]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "visibility" with "vision". "Vision" is the physical ability to see (good vision, poor vision), while "visibility" is about how well things can be seen in certain conditions (poor visibility in fog, good visibility at noon). They also sometimes say *"the visibility is very long"*; in this sense, it is more natural to say *"visibility is very good"* or *"you can see a long way"*.
Sinonimai
range of vision (More descriptive and less technical; focuses on how far a person can see rather than on measured conditions.)
Antonimai
obscurity (Emphasizes that things are hidden or hard to see, often because they are covered or the air is not clear.)

how much people notice something
How much people can see, notice, or know about a person, group, or thing, especially in public or in the media.
Vartosenos šablonas:
increase the visibility of [something]
Dažna klaida:

Sinonimai
exposure (Common in media and marketing; often suggests being shown to many people, sometimes repeatedly.)
Antonimai
obscurity (Suggests being little known or unnoticed by the public.)

clarity about current or future situation
How clearly a person or company can see and understand what is happening now or what will probably happen in the future, especially for business plans.
Vartosenos šablonas:
have [adjective] visibility into [something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse this business use of "visibility" with the physical sense and try to translate literally, which can sound strange in some languages. In this sense, "visibility into" is common; saying *"visibility of"* is possible but less idiomatic in business English when talking about information access.
Sinonimai
insight (Stresses deep understanding rather than just having information or forecasts.)
Antonimai
uncertainty (Emphasizes not knowing what will happen or lacking clear information.)

how accessible code elements are
In computer programming, how easily code parts like variables or functions can be seen and used by other parts of the program.
Vartosenos šablonas:
the visibility of [a variable / class / method]
Dažna klaida:
Learners may confuse "scope" and "visibility". Scope is the region of code where a name is valid; visibility is whether something can actually be accessed from a given place, which may also depend on access modifiers like public or private.
Sinonimai
accessibility (General term; in programming it emphasizes whether something can be reached or used from other code.)
Antonimai
inaccessibility (Stresses that a code element cannot be reached from certain parts of the program.)
