What Does Dense Fog Mean
The Short Answer:

Clouds and fog both form when water vapor condenses or freezes to form tiny droplets or crystals in the air, but clouds can form at many different altitudes while fog only forms near the ground.

When a heavy fog occurs you should?

50 feet, 100 feet, and 300 feet toward approaching traffic. When a heavy fog occurs you should: use high beams for best visibility.

How do you drive in dense fog?

If you must drive in foggy conditions, keep the following safety tips in mind: Slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination. Make your vehicle visible to others both ahead of you and behind you by using your low-beam headlights since this means your taillights will also be on.
