Heya there,

Here's the answer you were looking for :)

FOG

  • Fogs are composed of water droplets, which disperse light and reduce visibility near the earth’s surface. Fog layers form when moist air is cooled to its dew point (or saturation point). There are several different types of fog, which are formed under varying circumstances.

  • Radiation fog typically forms at night when surface heat is radiated into space. As the earth’s surface cools, the air reaches complete humidity, which then turns into fog.

SMOG

  • In the early 20th century, smog originated as a blend of smoke and fog. In 2011, it is defined as mix of ground-level ozone and other pollutants. Ground-level ozone, unlike the earth’s elevated ozone layer, can cause choking, coughing and other health problems.

  • Smog forms when organic compounds and nitrogen oxides chemically react with sunlight to create ozone. These pollutant compounds often come from automotive exhaust, factories, power plants and even your hairspray.

Hope this answer helped you!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!
