Fog droplets appear to be suspended in the air because of a combination of factors related to their size, density, and the surrounding air conditions. When the air becomes saturated with water vapor and cools down, tiny water droplets form, creating fog. These droplets are very small, typically ranging from around 1 to 100 micrometers in diameter.
The reason they appear suspended is due to a balance of forces acting upon them. Gravity tries to pull them downwards, but the upward force of air resistance counteracts this. In addition, within the fog, there are often small-scale air currents and turbulence that keep the droplets aloft.
The suspended appearance is also influenced by the density of the fog. In denser fog, the droplets are more closely packed together, giving the appearance of a more solid mass, while in lighter fog, the individual droplets may be more visible.
Overall, it's the interplay of these factors that creates the illusion of fog droplets being suspended in the air.
its because the terminal velocity is directly proportional to mass and square of the radius of the drop. the radius and mass of the droplet is very very less...so terminal velocity of the droplet is also very less.. that why it is suspended in the air..
There are many reasons why fog droplets remain suspended in the air. These droplets are not heavy enough to fall.
Fog droplets remain suspended in the air because the air is saturated with moisture, creating a condition where the droplets do not evaporate easily. This saturation of moisture allows the droplets to stay suspended and form the fog that we see.

No, fog is a natural occurance. It is caused from water droplets suspended in the air due to different temperatures close to the Earth.
Fog is neither hot nor cold, as it is composed of tiny water droplets suspended in the air. The temperature of the fog will generally be similar to the surrounding air temperature.
Fog is water suspended in the air. The more water that is nearby, the higher the chance of fog.

A collection of water droplets suspended in the air is called a cloud. If the collection of water droplets is close to the ground it is called fog.
