There is none. Not supposed to jump in clouds, but haze is ok

A cloud is visible moisture supended in the air. If you can see it, it's a cloud.

Industrial haze, is something you lie about.

REAL haze, when you're not lieing about the industrial variety, is also a form of cloud.

The U.S. goverment says you need to have a certain amount of clearance from clouds and a certain amount of visibility though the air (lack of haze) in order for your jumps to be legal.

...and just in case the FAA is reading, ummm, yeah, they're all kidding. We don't ever jump through clouds or haze. All skydivers stay 1000 feet above, 500 feet below, and 2000 feet horizontally from clouds at all times. It would be irresponsible to do otherwise. Anyway, everybody knows skydivers breathe through their skin so we'd suffocate if we jumped in clouds.

In Scotland, jumping through clouds is mandatory..

they only classify as clouds when there are no holes, as soon as it opens up enough for a load, the spacing between the puffy things dictates that they be called industrial haze

Haze is what they call the visible pollution in California...or do they call that the marine layer now???
