Why does the inside of the window fog up on a cold day?
When people breath they breath out moisture. Most air that we breath has a certain amount of moisture in it unless you are in the desert or air conditioning.Dry air causes our noses to dry out and become uncomfortable.Water needs energy to evaporate and stay as a vapour.These vapour particles lose energy as they strike the cold glass.The vapour then condenses and turns back into liquid water.This is really noticeable when sitting in a car on a cold day. The small air volume in the car soon becomes quite moist from people's breath and condenses on the windows.
What is the substance the makes a window fog up when you breathe on it?
It's the water vapor in your breath, after it becomes liquid water. Warmer air is able to hold more water vapor than cooler air. When you breathe onto a cold surface, the air in your breath is cooled, and it can't then hold as much water vapor as it did when it was warm. So some of the vapor condenses out ... becomes water instead of vapor ... and the condensed water collects on the glass. Exactly the same process is responsible when you exhale into cold air and you "see your breath".
Why does you see steam when you take out anything from deep freezer?
What you see is not steam. It's better to call it fog ... a cloud of tiny water droplets in the air. They form around anything cold, for the same reason that mist condenses and collects on a cold glass of soda or a cold mirror, and that you see your breath outside on a cold day. The cold object cools the air around it, whereupon the ability of the chilled air to hold water vapor is reduced, and some of the water vapor condenses out of the air, into the liquid state.
Is Warm air heavier or cold air?
cold air is heavier than the warm air warm air has low water so it is hot and low heavy but cold air has a lot of water so it cold and heavy
Why does heat rise and how does cold drop?

How does cold temperature affect the ability to breathe?
It shallows breathing bcause the cold temperature causes your lungs to contract
How can you see your breathe when it cold outside?
Your breath is substantially colder than the outside air... when your warm breath suddenly is immersed in that cold air, it forms condensation.
Why do you see breath on cold day?
The warm water vapour in your breath condenses into water droplets when it hits the cold air.
Why does your breath forms a cloud on a cold day?
Your breath forms a cloud on a cold day because your breath is warmer than the air, so it creates fog.
What will happen if your breath is warm and the air is cold?
it will form a cloud
What sickness will you get if you breath in to much pollution air?
Hard
Why do you form a little cloud when you exhale?
Because the cold air around you cannot hold as much water as warm air in your breath, the moisture in your breath condenses when it hits the cold air and forms into a little cloud.
Why can you see your breath when it's cold outside?
okay so your breath is hot and the air is cold so they mix... there is also moisture in your breath so the moisture in your breath might be condensing right in front of you!
Was it hard for Neil Armstrong to breath on the moon?
The air he had with him and the pressure suit he was wearing that was fed with that air allowed him to breath almost normally.
