Why is mist considered lighter than fog?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because visibility in mist is not as low as in fog

Direct answer: A, because visibility in mist is not reduced as much as in fog. Both mist and fog consist of very small water droplets suspended near the ground. The important practical difference is the density of these droplets and the resulting visibility. Mist is generally thinner, so distant objects can still be seen more clearly. Fog is denser and scatters more light, causing a greater reduction in visibility. A is correct because it gives the meaningful distinction used in basic geography and weather descriptions. B is wrong because mist still involves atmospheric moisture; it is not dry air. C is wrong because mist is made of suspended droplets, not stone. D is wrong because mist is not defined by being always hot; it can occur in cool, moist conditions. A useful caution is that exact visibility limits can vary by meteorological convention, but in school-level comparison mist is understood as lighter than fog. Memory cue: same kind of droplets, less density and better visibility means mist.
