If the air temperature cools to the dew point temperature you can get fog. You can also get dew or, if the dew point temperature is below freezing, frost. Usually for areas away from water, a limiting factor is available moisture. The amount of water vapor... |

Areas have different frost lines, depending on air temperature above the soil, sun exposure, ability to reflect light, snow cover, as well as the heat conductivity, thickness, and water content of the soil. This map shows the frost... |
