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 (1,100 yards) 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, and
haze is more brownish.
Religious connotations are associated with mist in some cultures; it is used as a metaphor in
2 Peter 2:17.
Mist makes a
beam of light visible from the side via
refraction and
reflection on the suspended water droplets.
"Scotch mist" is a light steady drizzle, the name being typical of the Scottish penchant for understatement (and of Scottish weather).
Mist usually occurs near the shores, and is often associated with fog. Mist can be as high as mountain tops when extreme temperatures are low.
Freezing mist
Freezing mist is similar to freezing fog, only the density is less and the visibility greater. When mist falls below 0 degrees Celsius in temperature it becomes known as freezing mist.
