Fog is similar to clouds in that it is a result of a supersaturated atmosphere, except that it is located at the surface of the earth. Fog classification is based on the temperature at which it exists. There are three basic types of fog: warm fog (above 0°C), cold fog (between -30° and 0°C), and ice fog (colder than -30°C).
