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.

How was the water droplets formed when the plastic bag covered the leaves?

The plastic bag created a closed environment around the leaves, trapping the moisture released by the leaves through transpiration. As the moisture accumulated inside the bag, it condensed on the inner surface of the plastic bag, forming water droplets.


What is plastic degradation?

Plastic degradation refers to the process by which plastic materials break down into smaller pieces over time due to exposure to environmental factors such as sunlight, heat, and moisture. This can lead to contamination of ecosystems and harmful effects on wildlife.

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 a flex have a thin layer of plastic on the outside?

A flex, or flexible printed circuit board (FPCB), often has a thin layer of plastic on the outside to provide insulation and protection. This layer helps prevent electrical short circuits, guards against moisture and contaminants, and enhances durability. Additionally, the plastic can contribute to the flexibility and lightweight nature of the circuit, making it suitable for applications in tight spaces or dynamic environments.
