become visible as fog in the air or dew on the ground.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://starryskies.com/articles/2007/10/fog.html">Fogs during summer will only happen with clear skies and near 100% humidity. 
There must also be condensation nuclei – or something onto which the water can 
condense. Condensation nuclei can be dust particles, aerosols, pollutants etc.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://starryskies.com/articles/2007/10/fog.html"><P>Fog can form at lower humidity levels if there are a really large amount of nuclei, especially if it is something such as salt.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://starryskies.com/articles/2007/10/fog.html">The basic requirements for fog to form are moisture in the air – the closer to 
100% humidity the better, and the air near the ground must be cooling to within 
5 F (3 C) of dew point – this is the temperature to which air must be cooled in 
order for water vapor in the air to condense to liquid water.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://starryskies.com/articles/2007/10/fog.html">During winter – fog forms in a different manner, almost the opposite of summer 
fogs.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://starryskies.com/articles/2007/10/fog.html">Winter fog is more common around bodies of water and is sometimes called lake 
effect fog.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5ED0EAF1-756F-4C3D-A5CB-1BD6E6A54089/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
