❓ why
Why do some lakes produce fog in the morning?
Quick Answer
Fog forms when moist air above a lake cools to its dew point, causing water vapor to condense into tiny droplets.
The Full Story
Lakes often release heat more slowly than the land around them, especially at night. In the early morning, cooler air may move over relatively warmer lake water and pick up moisture. When that air cools enough, the water vapor condenses into visible fog or mist. This is common in calm, humid conditions and in autumn or early winter. The effect is often strongest at sunrise, when temperatures are lowest.
Key Facts
1.Fog forms by condensation at the dew point
