Answer:
Because the light is not going straight from any object into your eye. Even worse: the path that each photon of light takes through fog is different. That is why we can not form an image through fog even though much of the light passes through.
The process that changes the direction of the light in fog is called “scattering”. The minuscule droplets of water in fog are scattering the light. The direction of the scattering is determined by the path of the light through the droplet. They are very small, and if they move only a little bit, the light is scattered in a radically different direction. And since the drops are moving around all the time there is no consistent pattern.
