Why is there water on a cold water bottle?

Warm air can hold more moisture (humidity) than cool air. Therefore, when the air cools off and the amount of moisture in the air is too high, some water separates out from the air. This is why dew falls on a cool summer night or we get a frost some winter evenings. The water bottle example is the same process, but smaller scale. The air cools off right next to the cold bottle, and cannot hold as much humidity. So, like dew on the ground, you get condensation ("sweat") on the outside of your water bottle.


Where does the water outside a water bottle come from?

If you mean the condensation on the shiny surface of the bottle soon after you've filled it, then it's the cold surface cooling the air around it causing that part of the air to be able to hold less moisture vapour, and this vapour condenses out as liquid. Once the bottle has warmed to the natural air temperature this won't happen any more.


Can you shake up a soda bottle in outer space?

if you mean with outer space is outside the orbit of earth, then the answer is no. space outside the gravitational orbit of any planet is a vacuum and nothing can move in a vacuum; be it a bottle or the soda in the bottle, whichever you mean.


How does the water cycle work in a bottle?

If your bottle is half-full, you will see condensation forming on the inside walls of the bottle. That's because water evaporates then condensates on the outside, then falls back into the main water body. It works the exact same way as it does on the outside world here on Earth.

Why does filling a plastic bottle with cold water cause moisture on the outside of the bottle?

It's a process called condensation caused by humid air striking a much colder surface. Generally the colder air is the less moisture it can carry. So when the air around you meets the side of the bottle it begins to cool, and can't care as much moisture as it had been. The moisture it can't carry is deposited on the side of the bottle as condensation.

Why does filling a plastic bottle with cold water cause moisture on the outside of the bottleg?

The dew point is the temperature at which vapor in the air will condense and turn into liquid. The dew point is determined by the air temperature, pressure and relative humidity. Consequently, when vapor in the air comes into contact with the edge of the bottle (which, if the water is cold, is below dew point) it condenses and forms liquid on the outside of the bottle.

Why do we get dew on the surface of a cold soft drink bottle kept in air?

Moisture in the air condenses on the cold bottle. If the air is dry, there will be no dew on the bottle.

What happens when liquids stick to a bottle?

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I think what your talking about is condensation. Condensation that you are talking about is when moisture in the air comes in contact with something and becomes H2O. It's like when you have a water bottle and the outside gets wet. The other kind of condensation is the formation of clouds, but you can Google that.
