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.)
