Mist
Mist is a phenomenon of small droplets suspended in
air. It can occur as part of natural
weather or
volcanic activity, and is common in cold air above warmer water, in
exhaled air in the cold, and in a steam room of a
sauna. It can also be created artificially with
aerosol canisters if the humidity conditions are right. The only difference between mist and
fog is visibility
[1]. This phenomenon is called
fog if the visibility is one kilometre or less (in the UK for driving purposes the definition of fog is visibility less than 200 metres, for pilots the distance is 1 kilometre). Otherwise it is known as mist. Seen from a distance, mist is bluish, while
haze is more brownish.
