The phenomenon that causes water to condense on the windows in winter is the same as what causes water to condense on the outside of cold glasses. Because the cold glass of the window (or the cup) absorbs heat, the air around it is slightly colder. Because cold air can hold less water vapour than cold air, water condenses and gathers on the window.

Why breathing on to a cold window causes water vapour form your mouth to condense?

Warm air has water vapor. When contacting the cold window pane, the temperature drops below the dew point, causing water VAPOR to condense to LIQUID water.


Why does water condensation occurs on the inside of windows in the winter time?

water vapor in the air touches the cold window and if the temperature of the window is below the dew point, micro-droplets of water will condense on the surface giving the typical "foggy glass" look.Copied from another wiki answers User:Mrsieversahttp://wiki.answers.com/Q/User:Tanvi%20Goel
