The difference between fog and sea of clouds

The difference between them is the definition, forming conditions and appearance.

1. Definition: Fog is a weather phenomenon in which water droplets condensed by water vapor and ice crystals are suspended in the air. The sea of clouds is a continuous air mass with the humidity of 100%, which is essentially a large-scale cloud, consisting of countless small water droplets and ice crystals, suspended in the atmosphere.

2. Formation conditions: Fog needs high humidity and low temperature, appearing in the morning and at night. The formation of the sea of clouds needs sufficient water vapor, stable wind and low enough inversion layer, which appears in the mountainous areas with higher altitude.

3. Appearance: the fog is white gray and thin, which can form fog on the ground. The sea of clouds is white and gray and thick, which can form a large range of clouds in the sky.
