Dew can form in any season but it generally most common in the fall.
dew point
Dew usually forms in the early morning hours before sunrise when the temperature drops and reaches the dew point, causing the moisture in the air to condense and form water droplets on surfaces like grass, cars, and windows.
water droplets in the air form rain which is part of the water cycle
When the air near the ground has enough moisture and the temperature reaches the dew point, condensation occurs, leading to the formation of dew, fog, or clouds. This process happens because the air can no longer hold all the moisture in the form of vapor, causing water droplets to form on surfaces or in the atmosphere. Dew is commonly seen on grass and other surfaces in the early morning, while fog can reduce visibility in the air. Overall, reaching the dew point signifies a transition from vapor to liquid in the atmosphere.
Dew forms on leaves and grass early in the morning when the temperature drops and reaches the dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense and form water droplets. The cool surface of the leaves and grass allows the moisture in the air to condense and collect in the form of dew drops.
dew drops are form when there is a fall in the temperature and condensation takes place faster than the evaporation thus changing gas into liquid droplet hence dew drops does not fall from clouds.
The Dew Point is the temperature at which the air is at 100% Relative Humidity. If the temperature fall below the Dew Point, then there is more moisture in the air than it can hold, and water condenses in the form of dew, mist, rain, etc.
The droplets on grass (when there is no presence of dew) is not water but xylem sap. This is caused as an effect of root pressure when there is high amounts of water potential.
Dew is formed by condensation.
Well dew is a form of condensation. That being said a dry climate is less likely to produce dew.

Dew is less likely to form in arid environments with low humidity levels, as the air is drier and can hold less moisture. Additionally, dew is less likely to form in windy environments, as the movement of air can prevent the cooling needed for dew to condense.
Dew is a liquid form where is frost is frozen dew. So frost is dew only in the frozen version not liquid.
Dew forms when the temperature drops to the dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water on surfaces. Dew may not form if the air temperature does not cool enough to reach the dew point, if there is insufficient moisture in the air, or if the surface is not conducive to dew formation (e.g., if it is warm or if there is strong wind).
If the temperature of the ground, grass, and other surfaces is warmer than the dew point of the air that comes in contact with the surfaces, dew will not form. Sometimes this happens when the air is really dry and the dew point is very low.
No. Precipitation is liquid or ice that falls from a cloud and hits the ground. Dew actually FORMS on the ground and therefore does not "fall to the ground"...That makes it, by definition, not "precipitation"....
Rain, snow, and dew all form through the process of condensation. Rain occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into droplets that become heavy enough to fall to the ground as precipitation. Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals, which then fall to the ground. Dew forms when water vapor in the air condenses onto cool surfaces, like grass or leaves, overnight.
