The one thing you must always have for fog to form is a temperature inversion.

Usually, you get temperature inversions with clear skies. Not always, but usually.

Fog is simply cloud on the ground. The air is already saturated.

If there is a heavy rain,you could say it's fog..you won't see a thing,even with wipers at high speed..
Zero,fog is usually caused by temp inversion.Usually,but not always.

radiation fog ,advection fog,evaporation fog,precipitation fog,upslope fog, valley fog (caused by inversion) ,ice fog,freezing fog,garua fog .
