Water In The Atmosphere

Question
CBSEENGE11010740

Write the difference between the mist and fog. 

Solution

The only difference between the mist and fog is that mist contains more moisture than the fog.


i. In mist each nuceli contains a thicker layer of moisture. Mists are frequent over mountains as the rising warm air up the slopes meets a cold surface.

ii. Fogs are drier than mist and they are prevalent where warm currents of air come in contact with cold currents. Fogs are mini clouds in which condensation takes place around nuclei provided by the dust, smoke, and the salt particles.
