Usage Note

Visibilité covers both physical visibility (e.g., driving in fog — visibilité réduite) and media/social visibility — gagner en visibilité ('to gain visibility/profile') is common in business and politics. Traffic signs warning of poor sight distances use visibilité insuffisante. The adjective visible and adverb visiblement are closely related.

Examples

"La visibilité était nulle à cause du brouillard."
