In many parts of the country, the temperature has reached 0 degrees and fog has started covering many areas. Fog is common in winter. Fog directly affects the works of our everyday life. Due to low visibility in fog, the speed of vehicles slows down, airplanes and trains are canceled. But, do you know that there are places in the world where fog remains throughout the year? Yes, today in this article we will tell you what is fog and what are the places in the world where it stays throughout the year. Let’s know…
What is fog?
Fog is a type of cloud, but it is not the same as the clouds seen in the sky. Actually, it is a condition between the rise and formation of a cloud. Air can hold a certain amount of water or water vapor in gaseous state. As the amount of water in the air increases, the air becomes more moist. When this moist air rises up and cools, the water vapor present in it condenses (water comes back from its gaseous form into liquid form) and forms small drops of water.
Sometimes when there are favorable conditions, the air containing water vapor turns into small drops of water without rising up and these microscopic particles start floating in the atmosphere. Due to this, a white layer is formed all around and the surrounding things are not visible clearly. Fog is a type of water vapor. This is the reason why moisture appears on things after fog.
