It's a subtle, nuanced difference. "Mist" consists of water droplets that are a little thicker than those found in fog.
Not all languages make the same semantic distinctions between the two that English does. For example, in Spanish, "niebla" and "neblina" can mean both "fog" and "mist." Likewise, in Romanian, "ceata (chay-ott-suh)" can mean either one.

Fog is when it's foggy and hard to see past a few feet in front of you. Mist is kind of wet.

fog: a cloudlike mass or layer of minute water droplets or ice crystals near the surface of the earth, appreciably reducing visibility.
mist :a cloudlike aggregation of minute globules of water suspended in the atmosphere at or near the earth's surface, reducing visibility to a lesser degree than fog.

fog is thicker and usually you cannot see though it.
Mist is very light
