Water vapor condenses on a mirror because the mirror’s surface is cooler than the surrounding air, causing the water vapor in the air to lose heat and transform into liquid droplets on the mirror's surface. This happens due to the process of condensation, where the water vapor transitions from a gas to a liquid state.
When you breathe out on a mirror, the warm water vapor in your breath comes into contact with the cool surface of the mirror. This temperature difference causes the water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets, creating the foggy effect on the mirror.
When the warm water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the mirror, it loses heat energy. As a result, the water vapor cools down and changes from a gas to a liquid, forming tiny water droplets on the mirror. This process is called condensation.
Due to the difference in the temperature, the molecules form a layer on the mirror ! That is what we call Fog !
Clouds form in the sky when water vapor condenses into water droplets. This process happens when warm air rises, cools, and reaches its dew point, causing the water vapor to condense and form clouds.
When water vapor in the air comes into contact with a cold surface, such as a mirror, and changes into liquid form, it is known as condensation. This process occurs due to the decrease in temperature of the water vapor, causing it to lose energy and form droplets on the mirror.
Vapor condenses to form liquid. Go to the bathroom and turn on the shower but only the hot water. You'll notice that there's steam/water vapor. Look at your mirror and watch as liquid water forms.
Physical, it is water vapor condensing on the colder glass of the mirror.Physical
Evaporation: The water molecule on the surface of the bathtub must gain enough thermal energy to break free and become a gas (water vapor). Diffusion: The water vapor molecule moves through the air from the bathtub to the bathroom mirror. Condensation: The water vapor molecule loses energy when it reaches the cooler surface of the mirror, causing it to condense back into liquid water and form a droplet on the mirror.

This happens due to the process of condensation, where the water vapor transitions from a gas to a liquid state.
When you breathe on a cool mirror, the warm air you exhale contains water vapor. As the warm air hits the cool surface of the mirror, it cools down and loses its ability to hold onto the water vapor. The water vapor then condenses on the mirror's surface, creating tiny water droplets that appear as fog.
When water vapor touches a mirror, it condenses into liquid water due to the temperature difference between the vapor and the mirror surface. This condensation creates a thin film of water droplets on the mirror's surface, causing it to appear foggy or misty.

When steam condenses onto a cold mirror, the water vapor in the steam loses energy to the cold surface of the mirror. This causes the water vapor to change phase from gas to liquid, forming water droplets on the mirror's surface.
The process is called condensation. When warm moist air from our breath comes into contact with the cold surface of the mirror, it cools down, and its water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets that form mist on the mirror.
When you take a hot shower, the warm, moist air can cause condensation to form on the mirror. The steam from the hot water hits the cooler glass surface of the mirror, causing the water vapor in the air to cool and change back into liquid droplets, creating a foggy or misty effect on the mirror.
