Teamwork between spiders and fog

The spiders put the web and the fog, the water. A beautiful collaboration that we can see in images in this series of photographs that I have captured in La Vanguardia Readers' Photos in Cardona, in the Bages region.

Fog is a meteorological phenomenon that consists of the suspension of very small water droplets in the atmosphere or of moist hygroscopic particles, which reduce horizontal visibility to a distance of one kilometer or more.

If the meteorological phenomenon gives a vision of 1 km or less, it is considered fog; and if it allows you to see more than 1 km, the phenomenon is fog.

Dew occurs when moisture in the air condenses in the form of droplets due to a sudden drop in temperature or contact with cold surfaces.

Since the air is in thermal equilibrium, the temperature of the air is also the temperature of the vapor and liquid water it contains.

The temperature at which the system is saturated is called dew point temperature. If the system reaches this temperature, and it is above 0 °C, then the formation of dew will be observed, for example, on the spider web.
