Dew is moisture in the air that is left behind like right before the sun comes up.

Fog is made up of low flying clouds.

Mist is a light sprinkle of water.

Answer 7

dew= on ground, fog=clouds low to the ground, mist=very light rain

Answer 8

Dew is when the relative humidity is higher than the temperature, fog happens when the inland area is warmer than the ocean or large body of water, and mist is the next step after virga which is rain that evaporates before hitting the ground. Sorry my answer seem so technical, there are some beautiful descriptions among the answers.

Answer 9

Ummm... dew is usually on grass and plants, it's in a more liquidy form.

fog is more of a gas, it lingers in the air...

mist is similar to fog, but the water particles are bigger...

that may not help but that's the best i can do sorry...

Mist is when it's kind of sprinkling but not... haha. Sprinkling with wind... haha.. don't know how to explain it.

Answer 14

dew (twilight time) fog (cold weather) mist (intense fog)

Answer 15

Fog is nothing but cloud on ground.The visibility is supposed to be less than one kilometer.Mist is thin fog.The visibility will be between one and two kilometers.

Dew is water in the form of droplets that appear on thin exposed objects in the morning or evening.Water droplets result due to the condensation of moisture at a rate greater than that of which it can evaporate.Dew does not require condensation nuclei(dust or smoke particles) for condensation whereas fog and mist require these nuclei  for condensation (just like cloud).
