Mist comprises airborne droplets of water.
Dew comprises droplets of water attached to some solid structure (eg a blade of grass or a spider's web).
The source of water in both circumstances is water vapour contained in the air which comes out of the air when it cools past its 'dew point'.

What is the difference between a mist and a drizzle?
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.
