Question

Tick(√) the correct alternative from the given options for the following statement:

When the water vapour changes into tiny droplets of water near the ground, it is called-

• A. Mist
• B. Dew
• C. Fog
• D. Frost

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Mist

Mist

• Mist is formed when warm moist water vapours in the air are cooled, and eventually converting to tiny visible water droplets hanging above the ground.

Dew

• When atmospheric temperature drops, eventually reaching the dew point, atmospheric water vapours condense to form small droplets on the cold surfaces and that's how dew is formed.

Fog

• When the mass of warm moist air collides with the relatively cooler ground, this causes the water vapours in the air mass to condense quickly into tiny water droplets and that's how fog is formed.

Frost

• When the tiny water droplets crosses the dew point, water droplets freeze to form little bits of ice known as Frost.

Therefore, Option (A) is correct. When the water vapour changes into tiny droplets of water near the ground, it is called Mist.
