Welcome to the collection of images and descriptions dedicated to the phenomenon known as smoke — the visible state of combustion products that form in the air. If you are looking for detailed and accurate information about smoke, its nature, and characteristics, you are in the right place.

Smoke is a mixture of gases and tiny suspended solid and liquid particles that form during the incomplete combustion of organic or inorganic substances. In natural and anthropogenic conditions, smoke often arises from the burning of wood, fuel, oil, coal, household waste, and other materials. Its presence can be observed as thin or dense streams rising into the atmosphere.

The physical characteristics of smoke include density, particle size and composition, as well as odor and color. These parameters depend on the nature of the burning material, combustion conditions (temperature, oxygen availability), and the stage of the combustion process itself. For example, smoke from burning wood differs in composition from industrial emissions. Smoke particles can remain in the air for a long time, spreading over significant distances.

The environment of smoke is diverse: it can appear above campfires in the forest, factory chimneys against industrial landscapes, city streets during seasonal fires, or in open spaces during agricultural burns. Depending on environmental conditions and wind, smoke changes its shape and movement direction, sometimes creating closed clouds or dispersed streams.

Typical forms of smoke include vertically rising columns, blurred curtains, smoke rings, or descending streams. Natural features such as air humidity, temperature, wind conditions, and terrain influence smoke behavior. In cold seasons, smoke often appears more intense due to moisture condensation, while in summer its heaviness and concentration may decrease due to rapid dispersion.

In landscapes rich in forested areas, smoke is often associated with wildfires, whereas in cities it is evidence of the heating period or technological processes. Understanding the nature of smoke and its characteristics is important for environmental monitoring, air quality assessment, and fire hazard prevention.
