  • droplets of water vapor suspended in the air near the ground
  • an atmosphere in which visibility is reduced because of a cloud of some substance
  • obscure: make less visible or unclear; "The stars are obscured by the clouds"; "the big elm tree obscures our view of the valley"
  • daze: confusion characterized by lack of clarity


    Fog is a collection of liquid water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface.While fog is a type of stratus cloud, the term "fog" is typically distinguished from the more generic term "cloud" in that fog is low-lying, and the moisture in the fog is often generated locally (such as from a nearby body of water, like a lake or the ocean, or from nearby moist ground or marshes). Fog is distinguished from mist only by its density, as expressed in the resulting decrease in visibility: Fog reduces visibility to less than 1 km (5/8 statute mile), whereas mist reduces visibility to no less than 1 km .For aviation purposes in the UK, a visibility of less than 5 km but greater than 999 m is considered to be mist if the relative humidity is 70% or greater - below 70% haze is reported.
    The foggiest place in the world is the Grand Banks off the island ofNewfoundland, the meeting place of the cold Labrador Current from the north and the much warmerGulf Stream from the south. Some of the foggiest land areas in the world include Argentia, Newfoundland and Point Reyes, California, each with over 200 foggy days per year. Even in generally warmer southern Europe, thick fog and localized fog is often found in lowlands and valleys, such as the lower part of the Po Valleyand the Arno and Tiber valleys in Italy or Ebro Valley in northeastern Spain, as well as on the Swiss plateau, especially in the Seeland area, in late autumn and winter. Other notably foggy areas include coastal Chile (in the south), coastal Namibia, and theSevernaya Zemlya islands.

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.
