Technically, there is no difference except that fog reaches the ground and clouds are above the ground. Both are visible moisture which appear when the temperature reaches it's dew point.

Fog is a cloud in contact with the ground. Fog differs from other clouds only in that fog touches the surface of the Earth. The same cloud that is not fog on lower ground may be fog where it contacts higher ground such as hilltops or mountain ridges.

cloud is a visible mass of condensed droplets, frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body, such as a moon
Fog is a cloud in contact with the ground. Fog differs from other clouds only in that fog touches the surface of the Earth. The same cloud that is not fog on lower ground may be fog where it contacts higher ground such as hilltops or mountain ridges. Fog is distinct from mist only in its density. Fog is defined as cloud which reduces visibility to less than 1 km, where as mist is that which reduces visibility to less than 2 km. Meteorologically, there are various kinds of fogs, but inside one there's no difference

A cloud is a visible mass of condensed water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere above Earth's (or another planetary body's) surface
Fog is cloud in contact with the ground. It occurs when moisture from the surface of the Earth evaporates; as this evaporated moisture moves upward, it cools and condenses into the familiar phenomenon of fog. Fog differs from clouds in that fog touches the surface of the Earth, while clouds do not. ...

Altitude. Fog is a cloud on the ground.

there both clouds exept clouds are up high in the sky and fog is down low towards the ground

Altitude, really. Clouds and fog form for the same reasons, just at different altitudes.

Fogs are basically clouds that are too close to the ground. Think about it, they have the same characteristics, they both carry water vapour.

In substance, nothing.
However, proximity to the ground is different.
They are both caused by water vapor condensing.
