how far ahead of you is the fog? how far can you see once youre in it?

i’ll guarantee you cant see as far ahead once you’re in the fog. it’s an illusion, human brains are pretty shitty at making comparisons like this. you can’t see more than, say, 80 feet into some dense fog whether or not you’re in it.

the distant perspective makes those 80 feet appear to be much more abrupt.
