Which distinction separates mist from haze?

  • A.Mist occurs at night and haze during the day, the two being otherwise identical in their physical composition
  • B.Haze is denser
  • C.Mist is reported only over the sea and haze only over land, according to the surface beneath the observer
  • D.Mist consists of water droplets and haze of dry particles

Answer: D

Mist is a suspension of water droplets at high relative humidity, while haze is dry aerosol and occurs at humidities well below saturation. Haze often has a brownish tint from its composition. The distinction matters for forecasting because haze requires a source of particles and a stable layer while mist requires only sufficient cooling.
