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.

Condensation will form on the surface of the glass.


Why is there excessive condensation on the outside of windows when the central AC runs on humid days?

Well, if your windows are thin and get cold enough, the moist, humid air outside will condense on the surface of the windows, much like the condensation that appears on a cold beverage can or glass in a humid room.


What is the name of the process that causes droplets to form on the outside of a glass?

I should never assume; however, assuming you mean a cold glass in a hotter humid environment; condensation.


Why does condensation form on a cold glass of water when its hot outside?

Condensation forms on a cold glass of water when the warm, humid air comes into contact with the colder surface of the glass. The temperature difference causes the water vapor in the air to cool and turn into liquid water droplets on the glass, a process known as condensation.


What happens if the cold glass is put in a humid room?

What process is responsible for water droplets forming on the outside of a glass of lemonade on a hot summer day?

The process responsible for water droplets forming on the outside of a glass of lemonade on a hot summer day is condensation. When the warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, the temperature of the air near the glass decreases. This cooling causes the water vapor in the air to lose energy and transition into liquid form, resulting in the formation of tiny water droplets on the glass's surface.


What does condensation form on a glass of iced water?

Condensation forms on a glass of iced water when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass. The air loses its ability to hold moisture in the form of water vapor, causing it to condense into liquid water droplets on the outside of the glass.


Why does your ice cold lemonade appear to sweat' in the summer?

The sweating effect you see on your ice-cold lemonade in the summer is due to condensation. When the cold drink comes into contact with the warm, humid air, the moisture in the air condenses on the cold surface of the glass, creating tiny droplets of water on the outside.

Why do water droplets from outside of a glass of water?

Water droplets form on the outside of a glass of cold water when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, causing the air to cool and reach its dew point. This leads to condensation of water vapor in the air, forming droplets on the outside of the glass.


What is the relationship condensation and dew point?

Condensation and Dew are related because Dew is practically Condensation since Condensation is Gas to a liquid. Humid turns to liquid. For example a cold glass of water that is outside for a long time. When you come back out you will see droplets on the side of the cup.
