Why does mist float when it should just sink to the ground like all other forms of liquid water?

Mist are very tiny droplets of condensed water vapor. The water droplets are so small and light that they do not have enough mass to fall on the Earth. As a result they float in the air.

What is more dense liquid xenon or solid xenon?
All the noble gases have solid forms that are denser than their liquid forms, so no, the liquid form is not denser than the solid form of Xe.
What are the physical forms of matter solid liquid and gas called?
Solid, liquid and gas are "states" of matter.
Does energy float or sink in water?
Energy comes in many different forms, but not usually in a form that you can say that it sinks or floats.
What happens to water in a puddle before it forms droplets of liquid water in a cloud?
It evaporates.
What is the crescent shaped surface of liquid that forms in pipettes and gruated cylinders?
That is called a meniscus
What is a liquid condensation that forms on the ground?
frost
What is liquefied natural gas?
Natural gas (out of the ground) that has been compressed until it forms a liquid.
What is water vapor that condenses to forms liquid water on the ground is called what?
Mostly, we call that water, "Dew".
What is the hot liquid that forms when a rock partially or completely melts?
Liquid rock is called magma when it is underground and lava when it is above ground.
What forms when liquid evaporates?
Water Vaper forms when liquid water evaporates.
When raindrops freeze before they hit the ground what forms?
Sleet forms when it hits the ground
What forms an evaporation is it a solid or liquid or gas?
A liquid.
The temperature at which a vapor forms from a liquid?
It depends on the type of liquid, though this transition is known as the boiling point (same as when a liquid forms a vapour).
What is forms of water?
liquid
What is it called when a solid forms from a liquid mixture?
When a solid forms from a liquid mixture, that is a precipitate, unless the liquid is in the process of freezing, in which case it is a phase change.
Changing from a gas to a liquid?
it is called condensation. For instance when water evaporates from the ground, it goes up into the sky. Then in the sky it forms clouds. It then rains or precipitates... hope this helped.
Will O2 solid float in O2 liquid?
No, solid O2 will not float on liquid O2 at all. There are several different phases of solid oxygen, depending on the conditions under which it is formed. But all of them are more dense than the liquid form, even near its freezing point (where it is most dense). None will come close to floating. Liquid oxygen has a density of about 1.141 grams/ml or so, and the solid forms have densities in the area of 1.4 grams/ml or so. Very few substances have a solid phase that floats on its liquid phase. Water is almost miraculous in this physical phenomenon. If ice did not float on water, earth's oceans would freeze solid within a few thousand years (or less).
