Which is TRUE of Radiation fog?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Radiation fog formation – what time of day and over what type of surface it typically forms • Difference between radiation fog and advection fog (air moving over a surface) • What happens to ground temperature and air temperature during clear, calm nights

💭 Think About

• Think about when you most often see radiation fog: is it more common at sunrise, mid‑day, evening, or night? • Consider whether radiation fog is mainly a land phenomenon, a water phenomenon, or either under certain conditions. • Ask yourself: as the sun comes up or goes down, does radiation fog tend to form or to break up?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether radiation fog is associated with nighttime cooling of the Earth’s surface or with daytime heating. • Check if radiation fog thickness is greater near the ground or higher up—where is the cooling strongest? • Confirm whether radiation fog is known for forming over land or if it is described as always forming over water.
