Why is fog called a cloud formed near the ground?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because both may contain suspended tiny water droplets or ice crystals

Direct answer: A, both may contain suspended tiny water droplets or ice crystals. A cloud is a visible collection of tiny water droplets, ice crystals, or both, suspended in the atmosphere. Fog has essentially the same kind of suspended particles, but its base is at or very close to the ground and it reduces horizontal visibility. Thus the important difference is mainly height or location, not the basic nature of the suspended particles. A is correct because it identifies the shared structure of clouds and fog. B is wrong because dry dust is not the defining material of either ordinary cloud or fog. C is wrong because both cloud and fog consist of air containing suspended particles. D is wrong because clouds and fog can form over land as well as over water and are not restricted to below the sea. Memory cue: fog is a cloud at ground level. Do not confuse fog with smoke or dust: fog is made primarily of condensed water droplets or ice crystals.
