What is haze
In more technical terms, fog or mist is a type of fog, and is distinguished from the others by its humidity level, which must equal or exceed 70%, which results in a marked decrease in visibility although it is higher. 1 kilometer. The composition of mist is hygroscopic nuclei and water, unlike common fog, which only consists of water, and haze, which is formed from dry particles.
Hygroscopic nuclei , for their part, are those drops of saline solutions or salt particles that usually come from oceans and seas. On these particles, in the atmosphere, the humidity of the air condenses.
For example: “There is a lot of fog: I don't think it would be convenient to go sailing right now,” “This morning we wanted to go play soccer on the beach , but the fog didn't let us see,” “The boat supposedly collided.” against the dock due to the fog.”

Specifically, fog with a relative humidity greater than 70% and visibility exceeding one kilometer is often called haze. If visibility is less, it is called fog. On the other hand, when the visibility is similar to fog, but the relative humidity does not reach 70%, the phenomenon is known as haze (the cloud is made up of dry particles). Fog, finally, is low, thin fog.
Mist in a figurative sense
In a figurative sense, fog can be called the lack of clarity that does not allow one to think correctly or that surrounds a certain fact.
Just as the atmospheric phenomenon affects visibility at sea, in this case we are talking about the impossibility of accessing information or developing ideas, either due to an external blockage or due to confusion that arises spontaneously.
