How fog is produced
Fog occurs on very hot days and very cold nights. It is the temperature contrast that produces fog. Fog is low-altitude clouds that also occur near the surface of the earth.
The difference between fog and fog is that fog is stronger, that is, it reduces visibility more than fog; For fog to occur, the relative humidity of the air must be above 80%.
The fog lasts two to three hours, then dissipates as the sun’s rays begin to heat the Earth’s surface.
The fog can always be observed in the early hours of the morning.
