Most types of fog form when the relative humidity reaches 100% at ground-level. Fog can form suddenly, and can dissipate just as rapidly, depending on what side of the dewpoint the temperature is on.

Fog is actually a cloud that is less than 50 feet above the ground. Like all clouds, fog is made of water vapors, that is why people refer to a fog as "burning off" when the temperature starts to rise. It actually evaporates.

Well, even though clouds and fog are formed in the same way (condensation of water vapor (due to decreasing temperature, or increasing amount of water vapor, or pressure change, or all of the above)), we don't call fog a cloud.
But if you absolutely wanted to, I suppose nobody could say that you are wrong if you say it's a stratus cloud with cloudbase zero.

Fog is called low cloud. Ground to 6,500'
It can be classified as
Advection Fog
Radiation Fog
Steam Fog
These are how they happen
Precipitation Fog
Upslope Fog
Valley Fog

For is defined as a cloud with its base at or very near the ground. Fog results from cooling or by the addition of enough water vapor to cause saturation.
