Fog and Mist

  • "The condensed tiny droplets of water formed by the cooling of air remains suspended in the atmosphere itself. They can very well be described as clouds close to the earth's surface.

  • Fog or mist is the result of condensation around the minute dust particles in the lower atmosphere. This may obstruct atmospheric visibility.

  • If the range of visibility is less than one kilometer, it is termed fog. If the range of visibility is more than one kilometer, it is called mist.

  • The airports in North India get temporarily closed during winter due to dense fog
