What occurs when water droplets form on the outside of your iced tea glass on a hot summer day?

the cold glass cools the air in contact with the glass to the point that it can no longer hold as much water vapor as is present. This makes water condense on the outside of the glass. or more formally The vapor pressure of water at the temperature of the glass is less than the partial pressure of water vapor in the surrounding air causing condensation.

Why a glass of ice water often has water droplets which form on the outside while a hot cup of tea or soup does not?
the main reason is condensation of water vapour in the air to water droplets
What causes the water vapor to lose its energy?
When it clings to a nearby cold glass, water vapor loses it's energy and turns into tiny water droplets on the outside of the cold glass. This is called condensation. You may have noticed it before. If not, next time you have a cold glass of water or pop, wait for a little bit, then look at the outside of the glass.
Why does a glass tumbler containing ice-cool drink show droplets of water on its outer surface?
As the liquid inside the glass tumbler is cold it condenses the water vapour in the atmosphere. This explains why tiny droplets of water are found on the outer surface of the glass tumbler.
Why didn't the same thing happen to the glass filled with warm water?
Water droplets form when the water vapor cools. The cooling causes it to condense into water. A warm glass does not cause cooling or condensation, so no water droplets.
Can glass rust if outside?
No
What do the water droplets on a glass indicate about the temperatures inside and outside the terrarium?
the water droplets indicate that the air is cooler on one side of the glass. If the droplets are inside, then the outside is cooler. If the droplets are outside, it means the inside is cooler.
What process is responsible for the droplets on the outside of a glass?
"condensation"
What is the name of the process that causes the droplets to form to the outside of the glass?
Condensation
Would droplets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?
yes.
What is the name of the process that causes droplets to form on the outside of the glass?
Condensation
When water droplets on the outside of a cold glass of iced tea this is an example of?
Condensation.
Why do water droplets form on the outside of the glass of the ice water?
This is called "condensation" on a glass, and "dew" if it occurs on grass / leaves. When the "dew point" of air is above the temperature of the surface of the glass, condensation will occur as humidity from the air releases heat into the glass and changes state from gas to liquid.
When water droplets appears on the outside of a glass it is called?
Condensation put to a lower level
