A mist is precipitation that can be characterized as "fog". While the sky might not be raining, there is still moisture in the air. Also mist is composed of ground water, not rain water.
Drizzle is a light rain that continues for more than a few minutes. It's rather like comparing a drip from the faucet to having it full open. Drizzle is the drip, rain is full open.
