Answer:

They differ on the basis of composition of gas and liquid.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Aerosols are extremely small-sized solid or liquid particles and appear to be suspended in the air. Automobile exhaust is a gas that results from the burning of fuels such as natural gas, gasoline and fuel oil, biodiesels, etc.
  • It forms the main part of auto vehicle combustion. It consists of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and dioxide. Mist is an aerosol consisting of liquid particles generated from the gaseous state such as fume, fog, and sprays.
