Solution

Radiation causes fall of air temperature due to which condensation of water vapour takes place around dust and smoke forming fog.Therefore, fog is formed by radiation and mixing of hot and cold air particles near the earth.

Fog decreases solar radiation and increases humidity due to which transpiration rates of plants is reduced.Plants consume less water and thus droplets of fog are seen on their surfaces.

We can make fog at home by using how water, alcohol and ice.Take hot water in a container and add some drops of alcohol in it.Put a strainer at the mouth of the container and put some ice cubes on the strainer.As the hot vapours of water and alcohol come in contact with ice, fog starts forming.
