What does it mean when sunglasses are polarized? and what’s good about that?

When light reflects off of a surface (like snow or a lake or a road or your car’s hood) it gets polarized. The E-fields in the E-M wave line up in a certain way. Anyway, you see better if glare from those reflections is eliminated. So polarized sunglasses cut those polarizations and allow the other ones, giving you better vision in glary conditions.

the glare can be almost completely horizontally polarized, depending on the height of the sun. In addition, all reflections from objects above water are partially polarized. With polarized sunglasses the sea appears more transparent! See all the glare on the image to the left. The rocks below the surface are washed out. Rotate the polarizer to align its transmission axis vertical and . . . magic: the glare disappears!
this is why they are great for fishing
