It varies widely depending on where you are relative to the tornado, how much rain and haze is in the area, and what else may be blocking you view. In good visibility a tornado may be visible from over 10 miles away. In the worst cases a tornado obscured by rain may not be visible until it actually hits you.

Can a tornado make the moon turn orange?
No. If there is a tornado the sky will be over cast an you won't be able to see the moon.
Why can you see air in a tornado?
In a tornado, you may see debris swirling around, giving the appearance of seeing air. What you are likely seeing is the dust, dirt, and other particles that are picked up and carried around by the strong winds of a tornado. The air itself is not visible, but the debris it carries can make it appear so.
What kinds of clouds you can see before a tornado?
Before a tornado, you may see dark, low-lying clouds with a greenish tint, known as wall clouds or shelf clouds. These can be associated with severe weather and serve as a warning sign for potential tornado activity. Additionally, you may observe ominous rotating clouds or a funnel cloud forming, which can indicate an imminent tornado.
