What is the main physical reason for reduced visibility in fog?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Scattering of light by water droplets in air

Correct answer: A. Fog consists of a large number of very small liquid water droplets suspended near the ground. When light travels through fog, these droplets scatter the light in many directions. Some light is also absorbed or weakened, so the contrast between an object and its background becomes poor. As a result, the eye or a camera cannot see distant objects clearly, and visibility falls. Option A is correct because scattering by suspended droplets is the main physical explanation. Option B is wrong because the apparent size of the Sun does not shrink and is not the cause of ordinary fog visibility loss. Option C is wrong because Earth’s rotation continues and does not directly produce the phenomenon. Option D is wrong because ocean drying is unrelated to the immediate optical effect. Memory cue: fog means droplets in air; droplets scatter light and hide distant objects.
