A cloud or fog. Fog touches the ground, clouds dont.

What is the difference between cloud and mist?

Mist of fog is the condensed form of water droplets formed just above the surface of the earth. Clouds are condensed form of atmospheric moisture consisting of small water droplets or tiny ice crystals. These r formed in the troposphere


Why are headlight beams of running cars on highways visible on foggy nights but not on a clear night?

On foggy nights, the light from the headlight beams scatters and reflects off the water droplets in the fog, making them visible to the human eye. On clear nights, the absence of water droplets means there is nothing for the light to reflect off of, so the beams are not visible.


What causes the fog when you breathe in the cold?

When you breathe in cold air, the warm moisture from your lungs and respiratory system condenses into tiny water droplets. These droplets are then visible as a fog or mist when you exhale.


Why can you see steam at low temperatures?

Steam is water in gas form, which appears as a white cloud due to small water droplets scattering light. At low temperatures, the water vapor condenses into tiny droplets, making the steam visible. The droplets reflect and scatter light, creating the appearance of fog or clouds.


Why is it possible to see a circular rainbow when your in an airplane yet its impossible from the ground?

When you're in an airplane, you have a different perspective and are often above the clouds where the conditions are right for a circular rainbow to form due to the angle of sunlight and water droplets. On the ground, the angle of sunlight and the surface of the Earth make it difficult for all the necessary conditions to align for a circular rainbow to be visible.

A collection of water droplets that can be seen above the earths surface?

That would be clouds. Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. They form when warm air rises and cools, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into visible droplets.


Wht is the difference between dew and rain?

Dew is formed by condensation - the water from the air around the ground becomes heavy enough to form into droplets on any areas which are colder than the air.Rain is formed when water droplets condense above the ground and fall.


What does Condensed water droplets in the atmosphere form?

The last answer was just illogical. Condensation is water droplets in the water cycle.


Today you can expect the ground to get cold enough for vapor in the air to condense into water droplets which will be deposited on the ground?

Today's weather forecast indicates that the temperature is likely to drop to the dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid droplets. These droplets will then settle on the ground in the form of dew.


Why is steam visible?

Steam is visible because it consists of tiny water droplets or ice crystals that scatter light, making it visible to our eyes. When hot water vapor cools and condenses into liquid droplets in the air, it forms the visible white cloud that we see as steam.


What do you call water vapor that has condense into small water droplets near the ground?

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.


Are you sure that a cloud is gas?

A cloud is a visible mass of water droplets or frozen water crystals.


How do they make those singing-in-water effect in music videos?

They actually have a machine that sprays milk droplets-yes, milk- from above. They use milk because sometimes water isn't visible on camera.


How do you get tar sand out of the ground?

The oil sands are dug out of the ground with huge shovels and dumped in ...droplets to merge in to bigger water droplets so they can be separated out.


What is fog and how is it formed from water vapor?

Fog is a type of low-lying cloud that forms when water vapor in the air condenses into tiny water droplets. This happens when the air near the ground cools down to the point where it can no longer hold all the water vapor it contains, causing the vapor to condense into visible droplets that we see as fog.
