What is "Shif'as Susav"?

1.

Rashi: When there are many horses, they raise dust with their feet. It makes like a cloud, and darkens the land. This is like "v'Shif'as Mayim 1 Techaseka" (Iyov 22:11).

2.

Radak: This is multitude, like "Shif'as Gemalim Techasech" (Yeshayah 60:6). It is an exaggeration to say that they will cover you.

Perhaps Rashi explains that this is a fog.

4)

What is the comparison "k'Mevo'ei Ir Mevuka'ah"?
