Mist and fog are a mass of tiny water droplets suspended in the lower layers of the atmosphere.
Fog is denser than mist i.e. has more moisture.
Both hinder visibility although fog reduces visibility to less than a kilometre.
When fog mixes with smoke it’s called smog.

How They Form

- Moist air cools below dew point.
- Condensation takes place.
- The resultant water droplets remain suspended in the air
