<p>The town is visual to everyone.
The town is visible to everyone.</p>
<p>Visible is obviously correct, but can somebody explain to me why visual wouldn’t work since they are both adjectives?</p>
<p>They are synonyms as well.</p>
<p>They are not exactly synonyms. They have similar meanings, but not exactly the same. Not all of the definitions of visual are synonyms with the definitions of visible. You cannot use any random definition of visible and expect it to be synonymous with visual.</p>
<p>I have a visual on the enemy.
The enemy is visible.</p>
<p>As you can see, they are used in different situations.</p>
<p>I see. Thanks dude.</p>
