What is fog and how is it different from haze?
Fog is a “surface-based” cloud and occurs when suspended droplets in the atmosphere reduce horizontal surface visibility to less than 1,000 meters, Inumet reported.
In the mist, on the other hand, the suspension of the drops that reduces visibility allows it to be greater than 1000 meters.
