No, fog is a natural occurance. It is caused from water droplets suspended in the air due to different temperatures close to the Earth.
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.

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.

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.
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.
Droplets that become too heavy to remain suspended in the air fall out of the clouds as precipitation, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Fog is denser than mist and makes it harder to see (in other words, it is more opaque). They are essentially the same thing, fine droplets of water suspended in the air, but with fog the droplets are smaller and more numerous.

Precipitation
No. A cloud consists of tiny water droplets suspended in the air. Basically it is fog that forms at high altitude.
