Blue Smoke, Not Sure.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly when someone says that they are having blue smoke problems and what the causes might be. So when I drive during the day I don't really notice much, but last night I took notice that there is a considerable exhaust at night, but not during the day. Is this the "blue smoke" that I keep hearing about, and isn't so visible during the day? Thanks in advance for all replies.

Exhaust smoke is always there regardless of day or night, heat will also show up as a smoke at night.

I was confused about blue smoke in a diesel too, I thought I was burning excessive amounts of oil, but it didn't show that when I check it. The blue smoke I had smelled real stong of diesel fuel to the point it almost made eyes water. I got a new IP and fine tuned and now no blue smoke. Weird, blue smoke on gas engine is worn out engine, on diesel not neccesarily.
