Which term describes droplets formed by condensation?

• A. Mists
• B. Fogs
• C. Dusts
• D. Vapors

Answer: (B)

Condensation turns water vapor into tiny liquid droplets. When these droplets gather in the air near the ground and are numerous enough to noticeably reduce visibility, the result is fogs. Mist is a similar phenomenon but is less dense, with higher visibility. Dusts are solid particles, and vapors are gases, not liquid droplets. So fogs best describes droplets formed by condensation that create a visible haze at ground level.
