There is water in the form of water vapor, sort of like steam, in the air. But, the amount of water the air can hold depends on the temperature of the air. The hotter it is the more water it can hold. But, when the air touches the side of a cold drink glass the temperature at that place drops dramatically and the air can't hold nearly as much water as it has been, so the water comes out of the air (condenses) onto the glass.

Why do water droplets from outside of a glass of water?
Water droplets form on the outside of a glass of cold water when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, causing the air to cool and reach its dew point. This leads to condensation of water vapor in the air, forming droplets on the outside of the glass.
What is happening when water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of water?
The air has moisture (water dissolved in the air). The amount of air that can be carried in the air depends on the temperature. Warmer air can hold more water in it than cold air. When the cold glass is exposed to the air, the air touching the glass gets cold, is no longer able to hold as much water and the water in the air condenses (comes out of solution) on to the outside of the glass.
When water droplets appear on the outside of cold glass that is an example of?
condensation, where water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cold glass surface and changes from a gas to a liquid.
What process will cause droplets of water to form the outside of a very cold glass?
When a cold glass is exposed to warm, humid air, it causes the water vapor in the air to condense and form droplets on the outside of the glass. This is because the cold glass surface reduces the temperature of the air around it, causing the water vapor to reach its dew point and change from a gas to liquid form.
Ice water placed in a dry glass on a warm summer day will cause the water to appear on the outside of the glass.What is the process that forms water on the outside of the glass?
The process is called condensation, the ice water touching the glass causes the glass to cool and which causes the water vapour in the air to condense on the outside of the glass.
Why do water droplets from outside of a glass of water?
Water droplets form on the outside of a glass of cold water when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, causing the air to cool and reach its dew point. This leads to condensation of water vapor in the air, forming droplets on the outside of the glass.
What is example condenstation?
When you have a glass of cold water from the fridge that you take outside, because it's hotter outside, little drops of water will form on the glass.
Why does acold drink develop water on the outside of its container?
The water on the outside of the glass is formed by the moisture in the air condensing on the cold surface of the glass. It is condensation.
Why do water droplets form of the outside of a glass of a cold drink?
Water droplets form on the outside of a glass of a cold drink when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass. The air near the glass cools down and its moisture condenses into liquid water droplets, creating the phenomenon known as condensation.
What is happening when water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of water?
The air has moisture (water dissolved in the air). The amount of air that can be carried in the air depends on the temperature. Warmer air can hold more water in it than cold air. When the cold glass is exposed to the air, the air touching the glass gets cold, is no longer able to hold as much water and the water in the air condenses (comes out of solution) on to the outside of the glass.
Why when you leave a glass of ice water on the counter water forms on the outside?
Water can exist in three states; as liquid water, as solid ice, and as the gaseous water vapor. In the presence of a cold surface such as the outside of a glass containing ice, vapor in the air will condense into liquid water on the cold outside surface.
What process is most direly responsible for the formation of water droplets on the outside of the glass of cold water?
Condensation is the process responsible for the formation of water droplets on the outside of a cold glass. When warm, moist air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, it cools down and reaches its dew point, causing water vapor in the air to turn into liquid water droplets on the glass.
When water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of iced tea this is an example of .?
Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a cold surface, such as a glass of iced tea, causing it to condense into liquid water droplets on the outside of the glass.
Why is there water outside the glass of water?
This is due to condensation. When air comes in contact with the glass it condenses(this happens only when the water inside is cold).
Why does moisture gather outside of a glass of cold water on a warm day?
The cold glass cools the air close to the outside of the glass and causes the moisture in the air to condense on the outside of the glass when the molecules in the air come close enough together to touch one another..
When water droplets appear on the outside of cold glass that is an example of?
condensation, where water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cold glass surface and changes from a gas to a liquid.
The process by which water get outside of a cold glass on a humid day is called?
Condensation
