Because the surface temperature of the glass gets colder than the dewpoint temperature of the air. Therefore the relative humidity goes over 100% on the glass causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water on the glass.

It's called condensation. The small amount of water vapor in the air liquidates into water when near the cold of the glass.

Why do water droplets form on the outside of the glass of the ice water?

This is called "condensation" on a glass, and "dew" if it occurs on grass / leaves. When the "dew point" of air is above the temperature of the surface of the glass, condensation will occur as humidity from the air releases heat into the glass and changes state from gas to liquid.


What would happen if all the items in the room were at dew point temperature?

Water would condense on those items. This is what is happening when you have a glass of ice water, and water collects on the outside of the glass.


Why does condensation form on the outside of a cool glass of water ona hot humid summer day?

Water vapor or water in the form of a gas exists in the atmosphere. If you listen to weather reports, you will hear a number called the dew point. That number is the temperature. When the temperature drops below that number, the water in the atmosphere condenses. It turns to dew. If you have a glass with ice in it, the temperature on the outside of the glass is below the dew point. When water vapor hits that glass, it turns to dew. In your case, it was a can of soda that became covered with dew. If the dew point had been below the temperature of the soda can, you would not have seen any dew form on the can of soda.
