You can! But only a certain distance, depending on how thick the fog is. The difference is that, when you’re far away from it, looking straight through that amount of fog only reveals more fog. Once you’re inside the cloud, you can see all the (hazy) things within that radius, but if you look up towards the horizon like you were from a distance, it’s still just fog.
