Freezing fog and fog?

Question

I was wonder if there was a difference and if there is what is it?

Answer 1

Freezing fog is much like fog. It forms when the temperature approaches the dew point of the air. However, when the dew point falls below freezing, lets say to 20 degrees F, and the temperature falls to within a degree or two of that same dew point, freezing fog may begin to form. It is fog that will condense and leave a frozen layer of "dew" on the surface of everything... essentially what happens in the morning and we see frost on the ground or on our car windows. Freezing fog; however, can become dangerous due to obvious visual limitations and the possibility of a significant buildup of ice on surfaces such as aircraft wings requiring deicing prior to take-off.

Answer 2

Freezing fog
Freezing fog occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to surfaces, forming white rime ice. This is very common on mountain tops which are exposed to low clouds. It is equivalent to freezing rain, and essentially the same as the ice that forms inside a freezer which is not of the "frostless" or "frost-free" type.

Fog
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.

Answer 3

well since fog is like clouds containing microdroplets of water than frezing fog is fog thats frozen
