The ground cools off at night (by radiating heat to space) and in the morning, moist air will encounter the cool ground and water will condense, because at lower temperatures, the air can hold less moisture.

What are the drops of water that form on cold surfaces during the night called?

Those drops of water are called dew. Dew forms when the temperature of the surface cools down and reaches the dew point, causing water vapor in the air to condense and form small droplets.

When does dew form more in the day or night?

That depends entirely upon where you are in the world but dew is unconnected to time of year as such. It forms when it cools enough at night for the RH to get to 100%. In some parts of the world that could be every night, in others never or very rarely.


What is the relationship between dew and frost?

When dew forms in the winter, it forms at night and its colder at night so the dew freezes at that point in freezing.


Can we see dew drops in afternoon?

Dew drops typically form during the night or early morning when temperatures drop and moisture in the air condenses on cool surfaces. By the afternoon, as temperatures rise and the sun heats the environment, dew usually evaporates, making it rare to see dew drops at that time. However, if conditions are right, such as high humidity or cooler temperatures, it might be possible to see some residual dew in shaded areas.


What three things needed to form dew?

High air humidity, low temperature and absence of sunshine during night with minimum air velocity are needed to form dew. These things are very common during autumn and spring seasons causing maximum dew formation.
