i am not sure if this is correct, but the frost is allot thinner and is not always visible. snow comes in thick layers, and is definitely visible, and allot more common. frost is just the morning dew frozen.

Dew is often found on plants or inanimate objects when the temperature is lower outside said object, then inside said object.

Frost is simply frozen dew.

Either frost is frozen dew, or, it's the reaction of a infinitesimally miniature sized universe collapsing into a white powder.

The main difference is that fog is visible water vapor in the air and frost is water vapor that has made a frozen coating on objects. The expression "there's frost in the air" is a little misleading, what it actually means is that a person can detect the conditions in the air that will be producing frost.

Frost is a form of deposition and requires a surface (on the ground) to form its ice crystals. Snow can only form in clouds - the ice crystals grow around condensation nuclei and then fall to the ground. Frost is confined to the ground.

Blizzards and fog are very different forms of weather.A blizzard is a storm that produces low visibility with blowing snow in gale-force winds. Fog is simply a cloud that exists at ground level, composed of tiny droplets of water. Fog usually forms during calm weather.

The difference lies in the phase change:

Frost is deposition (vapor to ice) as water vapor in the air deposits onto solid objects as ice crystals.

Fog and clouds are made up of the same thing - water droplets, which are tiny droplets of liquid water. They are so small that they can be supercooled (i.e. remain water at temperatures well below freezing because they lack anything to freeze on to). Freezing fog occurs when these supercooled droplets come into contact with a surface, whereupon they freeze instantly.

dew is water vapor that condensed in the morning and the dew point is when the air is saturated from humidity so right naseer and milton can prove it

What is dry ice for?

What is ice fog?

When air becomes laden with moisture, the moisture condenses and becomes saturated. This cooler area of air begins to form fog at ground level or just above the ocean / water surface. If this is over ice flow or icebergs, the air also contains ice crystals in the fog. Like on land, the ice fog occurs evening to next morning. As the sun comes up, it warms the air, melts ice crystals, reduces the condensation, and like on land, the entire fog cloud or fog bank becomes lighter. The fog rises into the sky, becoming just one of the clouds.
