So we are leaning towards a temperature change being a missing factor to make fog. We've gotten lots of humidity in the air, and we've also added tons of CCNs. Still NO FOG! So we're figuring out what's really going on with the molecules as they change temperatures. W're doing this because we noticed in our weather data that every city that has fog has experienced some sort of temperature drop when the fog appears, and then the temperature increases when the fog disappears.
We're making a public record of what we figure out, and so far, we've come to the following agreement:
1. Hot water molecules move faster and take up more space than cold water molecules.
2. Therefore, cold water molecules move slower and take up less space than hot water molecules.
We saw this happen in the food coloring demonstration, where the food coloring spread out SUPER quickly in the hot water but super slowly in the cold water. And in the test tube demonstration, we saw the water expand up the tube as it was placed in a hot water bath and take up less space when it was cooled down.
Now the question is, does every substance do this? Like air?
