How it's used
Literary in nature, this term is rarely used in casual daily conversation. It is mostly found in written descriptions, poetry, or formal speech to evoke a sense of vastness and purity. Using it in everyday talk might sound overly dramatic or poetic.
Examples
The sky is perfectly clear today, perfect for a hike.

Common phrases
a vast, clear blue sky
as clear as if washed by the rain
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with everyday terms for weather like 天晴 or 好天. Because it is a formal, descriptive noun phrase, it does not function as a simple adjective to describe the weather in a casual context.
