A fog and a mist are the same, the only difference is the extent of unclearness.
If visibility is less than 1,000 metres (a kilometre) geographers call it a 'fog' but if visibility is greater than a kilometre (1,000 metres) geographers call it 'mist’. It’s as simple as that.
So, clouds, mists and fogs are masses of condensed body of water. There’s another member of the group that you should meet. I’d be doing you an injustice if i don’t introduce it to you....

Mr haze!!!
Haze on the other hand is quite different from the previous three. Haze refers to very tiny dry particles (not water) such as dust, smoke etc. which are suspended in the air and are invisible to the naked eye. If such suspended materials are dense enough to cause unclearness to the sight, then we can call it haze.
These suspended particles may sometimes cause the red sky which you see at sunset.
Conclusion
From the above explanation you’ve learnt that:
Water vapour that condenses high in the atmosphere is called a cloud.
Water vapour that condenses close to the earth surface is called fog or mist.
The difference between fog and mist is only a matter of how much vision is obscured.
Haze is tiny solid particles that ‘clouds’ the atmosphere.
