Thermal cameras are the only option to see through fog because Night vision only enhances the visibility by collecting unseen lights but Thermal senses the heat so Thermal is the only option to see through fog.

What color can you see through fog?

Fog scatters light and reduces visibility, so colors seen through fog may appear washed out or muted. Typically, objects seen through fog will appear in shades of gray or with reduced saturation.


Can night vision goggles see through fog?

It depends on whether the night vision goggles are image intensifiers or the type that are sensitive to infra red. Only the infra red type can see warm objects through fog. Image intensifiers will not be able to see through fog at all.


What color is fog?

Fog does not have a color of its own. It appears white or gray because the tiny water droplets or ice crystals scatter light in all directions, making it difficult to see through.


Why one cannot see through fog?

It is very simple, but is difficuld to describe:) First: The way we see for example a car is the light (example the sun) hitting the car and reflect back in to your eye. Second: Fog consists of very small drops of water. Looking at only one of those drops: when the light is on its way back into our eye it hits the drop witch slightly changes the direction of the light. If we go back to the fog: All the rays of light (that is on its way from the car to our eye) they will all hit each there own drop of water(the fog). Each ray will then change the direction slightly. And now it gets tricky: Each ray has ben changed different from one an other. Therefore what we see is just like if you took a picture on the computer and hit the blur button thousands of times (because through the fog the light from the car has been so mixed that we only see it as a grey mass.)

Can a sharp-eyed bird such as a hawk see through fog that's too dense for people to see through?

The ability of the hawk, or any other creature, to resolve images is limited by fog. While it is true that the birds possess an amazing ability to see even the slightest movement from great distance, the manner in which light is scattered by fog affects even the hawk's ability to use its sight. It is not uncommon for an active outdoorsman to report seeing a hawk proudly sitting atop a tall tree or post throughout the full of a greatly foggy day conserving energy because it is too difficult to hunt under those conditions.

What color bulb is best for fog lights?

Yellow lights are recommended. white lights reflect off the fog and back to you preventing you to see through the fog. The lights should also be as close to the ground as possible.


Why it is difficult to see through fog?

Fog consists of tiny water droplets suspended in the air, which scatter light and reduce visibility. When light hits these droplets, it gets scattered in various directions, making it difficult for our eyes to distinguish objects clearly. This scattering effect creates a hazy and opaque appearance, impairing our ability to see through fog.

Is dense fog opaque transparent or translucent?

In general, it depends. Most of the time, it is translucent because you can only see unclear images through the fog. Other times, if you can't see anything through the fog, then it is opaque, not translucent.
