FOG REDUCES VISIBILITY, WHY?

Why does fog reduce visibility range?

The fog particles scatter  light of all colour to the same extent as the size of particles  of fog is same or greater than that of  wavelength of light. As colours are scattered, the fog appears white and on the other hand the light from the other side does not reach the observer, so it reduces visibility.

Why are Liquids heated from below?

A liquid in a vessel is heated due to the process of convection. In convection heat is transferred by the actual movement of heated particles in upward direction. As the liquid is heated from below its density decreases and hence it rises up and cold liquid settles down and heated. This process continues till whole liquid is heated.
