A simple explanation of fog for young children, including what it is, how it forms, and what it looks like.
Fog is like a soft, fluffy blanket of tiny water droplets that are hanging in the air. When you look at fog, everything looks a little blurry, just like when you breathe on a cold window and it gets all steamy.
Fog happens when the air gets cold and makes the water in the air turn into tiny drops. Imagine the air is a sponge that holds water. When the sponge gets too full, the water drops out and floats in the air, making it feel foggy!
You might see fog in the morning when you're waking up, especially if it's a cool day. Sometimes, when you go to the park or near a lake, you can see fog rolling in, making everything look like a magical place!
Fog can make it hard for people who are driving their cars to see clearly, just like when you can't see too well through a cloudy window. So, it's important to be careful when it’s foggy!
Fog is just a special way that water shows up in the air, and it can look really pretty too!
