Actually the question should be, "Why does dry ice form fog?"

Explanation:

Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, which sublimes into carbon dioxide vapor which is cold, and causes water vapor in the air to condense and form clouds (fog). Sublimation is the physical process of a solid passing directly into the gas phase without first passing through a liquid phase.
