Water vapor or water in the form of a gas exists in the atmosphere. If you listen to weather reports, you will hear a number called the dew point. That number is the temperature. When the temperature drops below that number, the water in the atmosphere condenses. It turns to dew. If you have a glass with ice in it, the temperature on the outside of the glass is below the dew point. When water vapor hits that glass, it turns to dew. In your case, it was a can of soda that became covered with dew. If the dew point had been below the temperature of the soda can, you would not have seen any dew form on the can of soda.

The process by which water get outside of a cold glass on a humid day is called?
Condensation
If a cold empty glass is suddenly placed outside on a hot humid day?
Condensation will form on the surface of the glass.
Why is there excessive condensation on the outside of windows when the central AC runs on humid days?
Well, if your windows are thin and get cold enough, the moist, humid air outside will condense on the surface of the windows, much like the condensation that appears on a cold beverage can or glass in a humid room.
What is the name of the process that causes droplets to form on the outside of a glass?
I should never assume; however, assuming you mean a cold glass in a hotter humid environment; condensation.
What happens if the cold glass is put in a humid room?
then condensation will occur
What is an example of condenseation?
when its humid outside condensation will build up on your windowclouds
What is the relationship condensation and dew point?
Condensation and Dew are related because Dew is practically Condensation since Condensation is Gas to a liquid. Humid turns to liquid. For example a cold glass of water that is outside for a long time. When you come back out you will see droplets on the side of the cup.

When does it rain in the summer?
It rains when its hot and humid outside
What is the meaning of condensation?
It is the opposite of evaporation. Think of a glass of ice cold lemonade on a hot humid day. Beads of water will form on the outside of the glass. This is water vapor in the air condensing when it is cooled by the outside surface of the glass.
Why do car windows fog up when the heat is not on?
It is called condensation, warm and humid inside, cooler outside.
What is the term used to define the change of state from gas to liquid?
Condensation describes the change of state when a gas turns into a liquid. Everyday examples of condensation are the drops of water on the outside of a cold glass on a hot, humid day, or blowing on a cold window to make it "fogged up."
