A form of cloud which has contact with the ground is known as Fog. Just like clouds in the Sky, fog begins to form when the air can’t hold moisture in vapor form anymore and gets supersaturated. It caused precipitation of the air and forms water droplets. It this saturation exceeds to a certain limit, the droplets turns into rain or drizzle. The Grand Banks is known as the foggiest place on the earth. Grand Banks is situated on the coast of Newfoundland.

As the air gets warmer, the higher amount of moisture it can hold in vapor form. Clouds and fog begin to form when the air gets cooled instantly the existing moisture sticks to some particles like sea salt and dust. There are many different ways which can cause the formation of the fog, but most of it can be analyzed as radiation or advection fog.

Advection fog begins to form when the moist front of the moist air begins to move over the cool land and that is what compels it to be highly saturated. Those who live near some ocean know well about this kind of fog. The other form of fog that is known as Radiation fog takes place when the earth surface begins to cool down especially at evening or night. The air around the earth also cools when the earth begins to cool and the fog begins to appear.

Fog often gets dense enough that it obscures visibility quite seriously, and because of this very factor the term fog refers to talk about the clouded or unclear vision.
