Answers: What is the mist and its monsters in The Mist?
- The Mist movie monsters and physics

- Mist is a suspension of very tiny water droplets that reduces horizontal visibility to 1 kilometer or less.
- Fog reduces visibility to below 1 kilometer.
- Both fog and mist are caused by warm air being cooled, forming clouds close to the ground.
- The mist in the film obeys the laws of physics and comes from an interdimensional portal in the Arrowhead Project base.
- The massive size of the monsters in the mist is explained by prehistoric oxygen levels reaching 35%, enabling giant insects and cephalopods to breathe through passive diffusion.
