इन्हें अलग रखिए, अक्सर पूछा जाता है (मौसम): mist (ज़मीन के पास पतला बादल; 1 किमी से अधिक दिखता है, धुंध), fog (घना; 1 किमी से कम दिखता है, कोहरा), haze (गर्मी, धूल या धुएँ से), smog (धुआँ और कोहरा साथ, जैसे सर्दियों में दिल्ली में)।
Homophone: missed (past of miss) and mist.
Homophone: missed (miss का past form) और mist (धुंध) एक जैसे बोले जाते हैं, इसलिए Spelling में भ्रम न करें। Misty का अर्थ है धुंध भरा।
