The water comes from the air. Air as it exists under normal conditions in the atmosphere contains some small fraction of water vapor. When the glass is cold the water molecules strike the glass and cool off, becoming liquid.

∙ 16y agoIt is water that condenses out of the air. When moisture-laden warmer air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, the glass absorbs heat from the air, and if conditions are right it absorbs the heat that has maintained the water as vapor. When this energy is absorbed by the glass, the vapor condenses into liquid water. This general idea comes into play when you notice the mugginess of a humid day. The reason sweat gathers on your skin is because the evaporation process that usually happens is slowed down by the amount of moisture already in the air. If the air is saturated with water vapor, your sweat doesn't evaporate. When your sweat does evaporate, it's because the air absorbs energy from the sweat, which is why we experience a cooling effect.

∙ 13y agothe water on the cold glass comes from the moisture in the air. The moisture is warm, so when the air comes around the cold glass, it's temperature falls, and turns into a liquid. that is why. btw, that transformation is called condensation.

The water comes out of the air.
When you boil water the steam you make goes into the air as a gas and becomes part of the atmosphere. When air is cooled it becomes less able to hold this water and the water condenses out of the air as little droplets - this is what clouds are and how rain forms.
The cold can cools the air next to it and the water in the air condenses into drops on the outer surface of the can - in the process the can and the pop inside are warmed up.
It is condensation from the air. In the air there is water gas. This gas freezes when near a cold container. It then sticks to the jar which creates the wetness you see.
The liquid water on the outside of the glass comes from the air. Since the glass is so cold because of the substance inside of it being cold it makes the surrounding air close to it colder. As a gas's (the air's) temperature drops it becomes liquid again, which is formed on the glass.

How does drops of water get on a cold glass?
Its condensation
Explain why water is wet on the sides of any glass containers?
Water condensation can collect on the sides of containers with cold contents, especially glass containers. This condensation happens due to the water vapor in the air turning into a liquid as it hits the cold air that forms through conduction against the container. Glass containers more readily collect vapor due to their ability to conduct heat well.
What is it called when water appears on a cold glass of pop in the summer?
it's called condensation. The water trys to evaporate, causing the left over water to be trappedinside the glass. Eventually, it condences and becomes condensation
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.
Is it correct to say a cold glass of water or a glass of cold water?
It depends If the water is cold and the temp of glass don;t matter than it is glass of cold water If the glass is cold and the temp of the water don't matter than it is cold glass of water People normally use glass of cold water
How does drops of water get on a cold glass?
Its condensation
When water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of iced tea this is an example of .?
Answer this question… When water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of iced tea, this is an example of _____.
Why do drops of water appear on a cold glass of water?
This is condensation.
Why does water drops form on a cold glass?
condensation
What is a sentence that uses the word condensation?
The glass of cold water has condensation forming on the outside of it.
Where might you use condensation?
Condensation is a science word where vapor like water vapor changes into a liquid. On my glass the cold drink causes condensation on the outside of the glass.
Why glass of cold water perspires with water drops when exposed to air?
condensation occours.
What make condensation form on a side of a cold glass?
If you have a cold glass and you leave it in the heat or anywhere where heat can get to it than it will form condensation. That is where there are little water bubbles on the outside and inside of the glass.
Explain why water is wet on the sides of any glass containers?
Water condensation can collect on the sides of containers with cold contents, especially glass containers. This condensation happens due to the water vapor in the air turning into a liquid as it hits the cold air that forms through conduction against the container. Glass containers more readily collect vapor due to their ability to conduct heat well.
The process by which water get outside of a cold glass on a humid day is called?
Condensation
When water droplets on the outside of a cold glass of iced tea this is an example of?
Condensation.
What is an example sentence for the word condensation?
A cloud is formed by condensation, during the water cycle.
