Definitions
- Referring to a light and fine spray of water or other liquid. - Describing a thin layer of moisture that forms on surfaces due to condensation or humidity. - Talking about a fog-like condition where visibility is reduced due to tiny water droplets in the air.
- Referring to a forceful and dispersed stream of liquid or particles. - Describing a fine mist or aerosol that is sprayed from a can or bottle. - Talking about a coating of liquid or particles that is sprayed onto a surface for cleaning, painting, or other purposes.
List of Similarities
- 1Both involve the dispersion of liquid or particles.

Remember this!
Mist and spray are both related to the dispersion of liquid or particles, but they differ in force, size, purpose, application, and intensity. Mist refers to a light and fine spray of water or other liquid, while spray refers to a forceful and dispersed stream of liquid or particles. Mist is often used for cooling or humidifying, while spray is often used for cleaning or applying a coating.
