WHAT IS FOG?

•Fog is a cloud that touches the ground. Fog can be


thin or thick, meaning people have difficulty seeing
through it. In some conditions, fog can be so thick that
it makes passing cars. Even monuments like London
Bridge, in London, England, or the Golden Gate Bridge,
in San Francisco, California, are almost impossible to
see in thick fog.
FOG

•Fog shows up when water vapor,


or water in its gaseous
form, condenses.
During condensation, molecules of water
vapor combine to make tiny liquid water
droplets that hang in the air. You can see
fog because of these tiny water droplets.
Water vapor, a gas, is invisible.

Fog happens when it’s very, very humid.


There has to be a lot of water vapor in the
air for fog to form.
FOG

•In order for fog to form, dust or some


kind of air pollution needs to be in the air.
Water vapor condenses around
these microscopic solid particles. Sea fog,
which shows up near bodies of salty
water, is formed as water vapor
condenses around bits of salt.

Depending on the humidity and


temperature, fog can form very suddenly
and then disappear just as quickly. This is
called flash fog.
What is Mist?
•Mist is tiny droplets of water hanging in the air.
These droplets form when warmer water in the air
is rapidly cooled, causing it to change from
invisible gas to tiny visible water droplets.
•Mist often forms when warmer air over water
suddenly encounters the cooler surface of land.
However, mist can also form when warm air from
land suddenly encounters cooler air over the
ocean. This is the cause of the summer fog in San
Francisco, California. You can even create mist
yourself, as you probably know, when
you exhale the warm air from your body into the
cold air.
Difference between
fog and mist
•Fog is not the same thing as mist. Fog is denser
than mist. This means fog is more massive and
thicker than mist. There are more water
molecules in the same amount of space in a fog.
Fog cuts visibility down to one kilometer,
meaning it will prevent you from seeing further
away than one kilometer from where you’re
standing. Mist can reduce visibility to between
one and two kilometers.
•Mist is a lot like its cousin, fog. The
difference between the two depends on how
well you can see. Mist is less dense than fog. If
you can't see beyond one kilometer (two-
thirds of a mile) in front of you, it's fog
that's clouding your vision. If you can see
more than that, it's just mist.
