Condensation can only occur on a glass that is cold. The reason why condensation forms is because water vapor in the air (a gas) cools and turns into liquid water when it comes into contact with a cold surface.

Would droplets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?

yes.


Why a glass of ice water often has water droplets which form on the outside while a hot cup of tea or soup does not?

the main reason is condensation of water vapour in the air to water droplets


What is the water droplets on the outside of your cup called?

The water droplets themselves are just water droplets, precipitates, runoff.They got there through condensation, the change of a gas state back to a liquid state, and the reverse of vaporization.


What causes dew on a cup?

Warm airing making contact with a cold surface causes some of the water vapour in the air to condense into liquid water droplets.


Why do droplets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?

Well, darling, those droplets form because of condensation. When warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface like a glass cup, it loses heat and can't hold onto all that moisture, so it forms those cute little droplets. It's like the glass is saying, "Sorry, can't handle all your hot air, so I'm just gonna sweat it out."


Why would drophlets of water form on the outside of a glass cup?

Assuming the glass cup held a cold liquid, the air closest to the cup will be colder than the surrounding air, causing water vapour in the air to condense into liquid water droplets.


Why does iced coffee sweat on a hot day?

The air contains moisture (or water vapour) in varying amounts, depending on the humidity. A iced coffee - or anything else that is icy cold - has a temperature that is a lot colder than the surrounding air on a hot day.When hot air hits the side of a cup of iced coffee, it reduces the temperature of the air. When this occurs, the water vapour in the air condenses, forming the "sweat" (or water droplets) on the side of the cup.


Will water droplets precipitate into a cup?

Yes, water droplets can precipitate into a cup if they are part of condensation or precipitation from the air. For instance, if the air is humid and the temperature drops, water vapor can condense into tiny droplets that accumulate and eventually fall into the cup. Additionally, if the cup is placed in a cool environment, moisture from the air can condense on its surface and drip into the cup.


When a cup sweats is it condensation?

Yes, when a cup sweats, it is due to condensation. This occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface, causing the moisture in the air to condense into water droplets on the colder surface, such as the outside of a cold cup.


Why water droplets can be found outer surface of cup?

Your question is imprecise - we do not get the point of what you are asking. Water droplets can be found on the outer surface of a cup if it has just been washed!


Why does condensation hapen?

TEMPERATURE AT HIGHER ALTITUDES IS LESS.HENCE CONDENSATION OCCU AT HIGHER ALTITUDES
