When you take a shower the water droplets have a greater surface area then simply having the water sit in the tub as it does in a bath. The leads to increased evaporation. With more moisture in the air it is easier for condensation to occur on a cool surface such as a mirror.
No. The steam from a hot shower fogs the mirror.
the heat from the shower causes it to fog and if ur window for the bathroom is small then it takes a while for the air to escape causing the smoke to become traped to your mirror like if u blow your breath towards the mirror then it fogs and also not only your mirror gets foggy but also the floor or wall.thank u very much
I ran into this problem at my new house. You have to take the shower knob off and there will be instructions inside to adjust the water temperature. This is to protect children from getting burnt from turning the water on too hot.
Steam is very hot. The bathroom is full of steam.
you have trash in your line take the shower head off and remove trash or possibly in water valve at shower
No. The steam from a hot shower fogs the mirror.
Cold air holds less moisture than warm air. When you run the shower with hot water, the moisture condenses on the cold mirror surface causing it to fog up. If you run the shower cold, the mirror will not fog up.
When you take a hot shower, the warm water evaporates and rises into the air. When this warm air comes into contact with the colder surface of the bathroom mirror, it condenses and forms water droplets, creating fog on the mirror.

because when water is hot, it evacuates and turns into gas which fogs
When you take a hot shower, the warm air creates humidity in the bathroom. As the steam from the shower cools down upon hitting the mirror, it condenses and forms water droplets on the cooler surface of the mirror. This is why you see drops of water on the mirror after a hot shower.
It is called condensation.
The 'fog' is condensed steam. During a hot shower, water evaporates to make steam, and when the steam comes into contact with a cold surface, such as a mirror, then it will cool down and condense back to a thin layer of water.
The water vapours spread all over the bathroom when we take bath. They are on the walls, on the mirror and everywhere. However they are easily visible on the mirror as the surface is smooth and water vapours make it difficult to see clearly. Taking showers creates a humid environment. The warm water vapor permeates the air. The mirror, and walls and everything else in the bathroom, are cooler than the air, and the moisture condenses on them. It is the same affect as water condensing on the side of your cold drink on a hot day. same thing when you are in the kitchen
Fog appears on bathroom mirrors like how your hot breath appears on glass when you breathe on it. The hot vapor in the air mixes with cool glass and fog appears. In other words, water vapor condenses on a smooth, cold surface creating condensation (steam).
They form after you wash, take a shower or take a bath because the steam that comes up from the hot water rises and sticks or clings to the mirror and they gather more evaporated water as they go.
Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. The dew point in the shower room is at or below room temperature. The vapor from the hot water in the shower warms up the air in the room, and the mirror surface is colder with low dew point, so the water condenses on it causes it to fog up since it cannot hold the moisture. The same thing happens when you leave an air conditioned auto with glasses on - they fog up if the air outside is warm with high dewpoint - lots of moisture
