🔍 Key Concepts

• Radiation fog and when it typically forms • Difference between radiation fog and advection fog • Role of clear skies, light winds, and rapid cooling of the ground in fog formation

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the earth’s surface on a clear, calm night after sunset. How does that affect the air just above the ground? • Which type of fog forms when warm, moist air moves horizontally over a colder surface—does that match the question’s conditions? • Which of the listed fog types is most closely linked to passing weather fronts, and does the question mention fronts?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the phrase "clear nights with very light breezes" to the correct fog mechanism. • Eliminate any option that requires a weather front or horizontal movement of air over a colder surface as the main cause. • Confirm which fog type is caused by the ground losing heat quickly (radiating heat away) and cooling the air just above it to its dew point.
