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..

Would condensation form on the outside of a beaker full of hot water why or why not?
No. The glass of the beaker, since it is hot, not cold, would not cause the ambient moisture to coalesce on the glass
Why do we see water droplets on the outer surface of a glass containing ice-cold water?
That is because warm air outside the glass contains moisture and that moisture condenses on cold surfaces since cold air on the glass surface cannot hold as much moisture as warm air. It is the same effect as fog on the bathroom mirror after running a hot shower.
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.
Water that collects on the outside of a glass is called?
condensation
What is the process when water is formed outside a glass?
condensation
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 beads of water form on the outside of the glass of iced water on a hot day?
The moisture in the warm air collects on the cold glass. When enough moisture collects, it forms beads of water that run down the side 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.
What is the water on the outside of a glass water called?
The water that forms on the outside of a glass of [ice] water is called condensation. It occurs because the surface of the glass is colder than the air surrounding the glass, which causes the water vapor in the air to cool and condense into a liquid on the outside of the glass.
Why do water droplet appear on outer surface of glass when cold water is poured in it?
The cold water reduces the temperature of the glass. The cold glass reduces the temperature of the air around the glass. The amount of moisture in air is temperature dependant hotter air can contain a higher moisture content. If the air temperature is reduced the water condenses. In this case the cold glass reduces the air temperature in contact with the glass, this results in the condenstion of moisture from the air, and water droplets are formed.
How will moisture form on a glass?
Cohesion and Adhesion. Adhesion is the property of water that makes it stick to other substances. For example, water on glass. Cohesion is the property of water that makes water stick to itself. For example, water droplets. Now you breath and the air has trace amounts of moisture, so when you breathe out, the moisture go from your mouth to the glass, and due to adhesion, it stays there for a while.
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.
When water forms around your glass pepsi with ice what has occurred?
The cold drink cools the temperature of the cup, therefore moisture in the air condenses (turns from a gas to liquid) on the outside
What is example condenstation?

Does water become liquid during condensation?
Water IS liquid.Condensation is the moisture on a window on a wet morning or a glass of water.
