The water droplets are the result of the humidity in the air colling down and condensing on the outside of the glass. When water evaporates it turns into water vapor or steam we call the amount of water vapor in the air humidity. condensation is the reverse of evaporation and is also responsible for rain.
the water droplets indicate that the air is cooler on one side of the glass. If the droplets are inside, then the outside is cooler. If the droplets are outside, it means the inside is cooler.
Water droplets may form on the outside of a glass of water as a result of condensation. This is also how dew forms on grass.
Answer this question… When water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of iced tea, this is an example of _____.
The air outside the glass has water vapor in it. This is cooled and condenses on the glass.
Answer this question… When water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of iced tea, this is an example of _____.
The cold water chills the glass so the warm water vapour in the air, condenses on the cooler surface of the glass, hence the water droplets are formed.
If the glass and its contents were cold, moisture in the warmer atmosphere would condense on the glass and and form droplets.
condensation
yes.
the glass is cold, so water vapor condenses in the air to the cup
Condensation
What your seeing is known as condensation. The water droplets on the glass are "dew"- the surface of the glass in cooling much quicker than the temperature of the air around the glass.
