[[Cloud cover]] is often referred to as "mist" when encountered on surfaces of mountains, whereas moisture suspended above a body of water, cleared or marsh area is usually called "fog".{{cn|date=December 2024}} One main difference between mist and fog is [[visibility]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rcn27.dial.pipex.com/cloudsrus/mistnfog.html |title=Mist and Fog |access-date=2006-01-16 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121210065921/http://www.rcn27.dial.pipex.com/cloudsrus/mistnfog.html |archive-date=2012-12-10 }}</ref> The phenomenon is called fog if the visibility is {{cvt|1|km|yd}} or less. In the United Kingdom, the definition of fog is visibility less than {{cvt|100|m|ft}} on the surface for driving purposes,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gov.uk/driving-adverse-weather-conditions-226-to-237/overview-226 |title=Driving in adverse weather conditions (226 to 237) |publisher=[[Government of the United Kingdom]] |work=gov.uk}}</ref> while for pilots the distance is 1&nbsp;km at cruising height. Otherwise, it is known as mist.

Mist makes a light beam visible from the side via [[refraction]] and [[light scattering by particles|scattering]] on the suspended water droplets, and [[rainbow]]s can be possibly created. 

"Scotch mist" is a light steady drizzle that appears like mist.

Mist usually occurs near the shores and is often associated with fog. Mist can be as high as mountain tops when extreme temperatures are low and strong condensation occurs.

'''Freezing mist''' is similar to [[freezing fog]], only the density is less and the visibility greater. When fog falls below 0°C, it is known as freezing fog, however it still stays suspended.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/359/ |title=What Is Difference Between Ice Fog and Freezing Fog? }}</ref>
