They are quite similar.

Clouds are formed more higher up and are much thicker.


Fog is formed lower down and is not as thick as a cloud.

They are the same. Fog is a very low cloud. They can be the same density.




The scientific terminoly for fog is = Fog is a cloud that is in contact with the ground. The only difference is the ground but a cloud may be considered partly fog; for example, the part of a cloud that is suspended in the air above the ground is not considered fog but the part of the cloud that comes in contact with higher ground is considered fog.
