It was pretty foggy on my drive to work today. You too, may have seen some fog. 

Bonus Fun Fact: Fog is a cloud along the ground. It sounds like one of those oversimplified statements that you later find out is incorrect but, in this case, it’s technically right. The Google defines a cloud as “a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.” So, a cloud could be high in the atmosphere or hanging over the roadway in front of you. When you see your breath in the winter? Also a cloud, albeit a short-lived one. The mist you see above a pond on a fall morning? Clouds, but also fog! They are all formed by the same atmospheric process — the condensation of warm, moist air in cooler air. That’s what really defines a cloud, not its location.
