No. Precipitation is liquid or ice that falls from a cloud and hits the ground. Dew actually FORMS on the ground and therefore does not "fall to the ground"...That makes it, by definition, not "precipitation"....

∙ 11y agoDew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets.
When temperatures are low enough, dew takes the form of ice; this form is called frost (frost is, however, not frozen dew).
Because dew is related to the temperature of surfaces, in late summer it is formed most easily on surfaces which are not warmed by conducted heat from deep ground, such as grass, leaves, railings, car roofs, and bridges.
There for dew is NOT a gas
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, dew is technically considered a form of condensation. This is because water in the air grew heavy enough to fall to Earth.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, dew is the result of condensation. Condensation occurs after water has evaporated and became water vapor in the air, which condenses on cool surfaces in the form of dew.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Dew is the water that collects on surfaces when the temperature falls below the 'dewpoint' condensing the water vapor in the air to liquid.

What is a form of precipitation?
Dew
Dew point is 10C temperature falls to 12C at night?
there will be no precipitation in the morning
What two types of precipitation can occur if the dew point is below zero degrees Celsius?
Frost.
Which is not a type of condensation fog cloud snow or dew?
The answer is snow because snow is a type of precipitation.
Which weather change usually occurs when the difference between the air temperature and the dew point temperature is decreasing?
probability precipitation decrease
What is a form of precipitation?
Dew
Is dew and frost caused by precipitation?
No, precipitation is a separate process. Dew and frost occur when air cools to its dew point. Dew is condensation of water in the air onto a surface, while frost is the deposition of water vapor straight to ice.
Is dew a form of precipitaion?
No because precipitation falls from the sky and dew evaporates from the ground (I think)
Are hailstones and dew part of the water cycle?
Yes. Key words in the water cycle are precipitation, evaporation, and condensationHailstones are a form of precipitation and dew evaporates. Both become part of the water cycle through the actions of precipitation and evaporation.
What is a description about precipitation?
Precipitation is rain, sleet, snow or dew formed by condensation of water vapour in the atmosphere
What are the 4 forms of precipitation?
rain, snow, hail, dew
What are all of forms of precipitation?
The 5 forms of precipitation such as:-rain-dew-snow-hail-frost-sleet-glaze
When a parcel of air reaches its dew point what process begins?
Some sort of precipitation occurs when air reaches the dew point. You might get dew, frost, rain or snow.
Dew point is 10C temperature falls to 12C at night?
there will be no precipitation in the morning
Is dew an example of condensation?
No, dew is thick, most of the time. Examples of condensation include; Heat on a cold window, or mist.
What is a three letter word for light rain?
precipitation
What is one form of precipitation?
Virga, rain, sleet, hail, snow, fog, and dew.
