What is water vapor called that condenses near the ground?

fog because its made up of little water droplets


What are tiny drops of water in the air called?

Tiny drops of water in the air are called mist or fog, depending on their density and visibility.


What is fog made thicker by smoke?

Fog can be made thicker by the presence of smoke, as the particles in the smoke can serve as condensation nuclei for water droplets to form around. This can result in the fog becoming more opaque and reducing visibility even further.


Clouds on the ground?

When low-hanging clouds touch the Earth's surface, they are referred to as fog. This phenomenon occurs when the air near the ground cools and reaches its dew point, causing water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets that form the visible mist we see as fog. Fog can reduce visibility and has a significant impact on transportation and daily activities.


What is the difference between mist and fog?

Fog, mist and cloud are all formed when air cools to its dew point (the term is self explanatory). Water in the air may condense onto a cold surface, the ground, a house roof or on to small particles in the air (condensation nuclei). At ground level the "cloud" is called fog or mist depending upon the visibility. At sea or for aircraft landing and taking off purposes, a fog is defined as when the visibility is 1000 metres or less. Mist is a visibility between 1000 and 2000 metres. Normally, over land, forecasters use the word "fog" when the visibility is 200 metres or less. This is because a car driver may be fairly happy if he can see over 200 metres while the same is not true for an aircraft pilot landing at Heathrow or the skipper of a boat in mid Channel.
