Windy mornings are fog free as strong winds mix the air near the ground with the drier, warmer air above. As autumn progresses, we will see a fog during the day forming over the unfrozen lakes. This fog, called evaporation fog, forms when colder air moves over warmer water.
Evaporation fog over a lake gives the appearance of steam rising out of the water and is sometimes referred to as a steam fog. The Weather Guys. I am a new wonderer.

Here are two new facts I learned. I learned that fog is a regular cloud close to the ground rather than high up in the air. I also learned that basically fog forms when warm air meets cold air.
When this happens water vapor in the air- a gas- is cooled enough for gas to turn to a liquid in the form of tiny water droplets. This process is called condensation. One question I have is why are clouds and fog white? It differs from climate, which is all weather conditions for a particular location averaged over about 30 years.
Weather is influenced by latitude, altitude, and local and regional geography. It impacts the way people dress each day and the types of structures built. Explore weather and its impacts with this curated collection of classroom resources.
Encyclopedic entry. Mist is tiny droplets of water hanging in the air. These droplets form when warmer water in the air is rapidly cooled, causing it to change from invisible gas to tiny visible water droplets. A hydrosphere is the total amount of water on a planet. The hydrosphere includes water that is on the surface of the planet, underground, and in the air.
