Hi............
Formation of Fog
Like a cloud, fog forms when water evaporates from a surface or is added to the air. This evaporation can be from the ocean or another body of water or moist ground like a marsh or a farm field, depending on the type and location of the fog. According to Wikipedia, water vapor is also added to the air via winds, precipitation, daytime heating and the evaporation of water from a surface, plant transpiration or air rising over mountains (orographic uplift).
As water begins to evaporate from these sources and turn into water vapor it rises into the air.
As the water vapor rises, it bonds with aerosols called condensation nuclei (i.e. - small dust particles in the air) to form water droplets. These droplets then condense to form fog when the process occurs close to the ground.
There are, however, several conditions that need to first occur before the process of fog formation can be complete.
