The article explains fog formation and its impact on baseball as part of a science and sports series. Fog consists of tiny water droplets suspended in air near the ground, forming when warm, moist air cools. Types include radiation fog (common on clear nights), advection fog (when warm air moves over cold surfaces), and valley fog. Fog creates dangerous baseball conditions because players can't see balls well, increasing injury risks from missed catches and potential collisions. The article explains that umpires may pause or cancel games when fog creates unsafe conditions. Scientific terms like condensation, water vapor, concussions, and ligaments are defined in simple language for the 6th-grade audience.
