What is the main difference between cloud and fog?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Clouds form at a height in the atmosphere, whereas fog forms near the ground

Direct answer: A. Both clouds and fog are collections of tiny condensed water droplets and, in suitable conditions, ice crystals suspended in air. The main difference is position: a cloud forms above the Earth’s surface, whereas fog is essentially a cloud whose base is at or very near the ground. B is wrong because clouds are not made only of ice, and fog is not water vapour; fog consists mainly of condensed droplets, with possible ice crystals in cold conditions. C is too absolute: clouds often produce precipitation, but fog may deposit moisture and the statement says ‘never.’ D is wrong because both can form at different times depending on temperature, moisture, and air movement. Memory cue: fog is a cloud touching the ground.
