Why can't you see the beam of light when you shine a flashlight?

You can only see a beam of light if there are particles around it.
So say there was a man standing under a street light, and the world around
him was foggy, you could then see the beam of light coming from the street
light. And its the same principal with any luminous object.
If there's no particle around, then you can't see the beam of light.
