Dew itself is just drops of water, which don't really have much of a scent. However, the water evaporating in the morning air off can bring out the smells of its surroundings (plants and earth and pavement, etc). So in that sense, I suppose you can smell the morning dew.

What does dew smell?

The smell of dew depends on the surroundings, or environment, of where the dew is located. If the dew is on a blade of grass, it may smell like grass. If it is on a petal of a flower, it may smell like the flower, or its pollen. All in all, dew usually smells like water, since it technically is water.


Is morning dew condensation?

Morning dew is formed through the process of condensation. When moist air comes into contact with a cooler surface, such as grass or leaves, the air cools down and water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water droplets, forming dew.


Use dew point in a sentence?

The dew point is the temperature where condensation begins.


Why is there dew in the morning?

We only see dew in the morning because of the way dew forms. For dew to form, air must be cooled to its condensation point. There must be little movement to the air or it will remain mixed and not form dew, but will form fog instead. (Fog is formed in other ways as well). These conditions usually occur overnight, when the winds die down, and the air becomes still. Radiational cooling from the ground or structures near the surface, such as automobiles, mailboxes, etc. cools the air in contact with the ground or structures. The humidity in the air condenses into droplets of moisture we call dew. After sunrise, the ground begins warm up and usually the wind increases. Both these events warm the air and evaporate the dew.


How does walking on morning dew help eyesight?

Walking on morning dew doesn't directly improve eyesight. However, some people believe that the coolness and moisture of the dew can have a refreshing effect on the eyes, helping reduce inflammation and possibly providing some relief for tired or strained eyes.
