    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog

    Fog is a visible aerosol consisting of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface. [1] [2] Fog can be considered a type of low-lying cloud usually resembling stratus and is heavily influenced by nearby bodies of water, topography, and wind conditions.

  3. Atmospheric optics - Wikipedia

    A simple example of this is being able to see farther in heavy rain than in heavy fog. This process of reflection/absorption is what causes the range of cloud color from white to black. [19] Other colors occur naturally in clouds. Bluish-grey is the result of light scattering within the cloud.

  4. Space weather - Wikipedia

    At auroral and polar latitudes, small space weather events that occur frequently disrupt HF communications. At mid-latitudes, HF communications are disrupted by solar radio bursts, by X-rays from solar flares (which enhance and disturb the ionospheric D-layer) and by TEC enhancements and irregularities during major geomagnetic storms.

  9. Nebula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula

    Although denser than the space surrounding them, most nebulae are far less dense than any vacuum created on Earth (10 5 to 10 7 molecules per cubic centimeter) – a nebular cloud the size of the Earth would have a total mass of only a few kilograms.
