Fog, for kids, is explained as tiny water drops hovering in the air near the ground, making it difficult to see. It's like a cloud that isn't high up in the sky.
Understanding Fog for Kids
Fog is formed from water vapor, which is water in a gas form. When the air cools, the water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets. These droplets float in the air, creating what we see as fog.
Characteristics of Fog:
- Made of Water Droplets: Fog consists of small water particles suspended in the air.
- Near the Ground: Unlike clouds, fog is close to the earth's surface.
- Reduces Visibility: Thick fog can limit how far you can see.
How Fog Forms:
- Water evaporates and becomes water vapor (a gas).
- The air cools down.
- Water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets.
- These droplets stay suspended in the air, forming fog.
Example:
Imagine you're playing outside on a cold morning, and everything looks blurry. That's probably fog! It's like the sky came down to visit.
