Is mist better than fog?
Effects on Visibility
A person can still see out to about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) in mist, but a fog will reduce visibility to under one kilometer (0.6 miles). Dense fogs, usually caused by rapid changes in humidity or combined with smoke, can reduce visibility to under 50 meters (60 yards).
Which is harder to see through fog or mist?
Fog is denser than mist. This means fog is more massive and thicker than mist. There are more water molecules in the same amount of space in a fog. Fog cuts visibility down to one kilometer, meaning it will prevent you from seeing further away than one kilometer from where you're standing.
Is the fog the same as the mist?
Fog and mist differ by how far you can see through them. Fog is when you can see less than 1,000 metres away, and if you can see further than 1,000 metres, we call it mist.
How is fog different from mist?
Fog is a cloud that reaches ground level, even though that "ground" is a mountain top or a hill. Mist occurs when water droplets are suspended in the air by inversion of temperature, volcanic activity, or moisture changes. Fog is denser than mist and is more likely to last longer.
