It's called condensation. it's not sweat. There's microscopic liottle drops of moisture in the air that get collected toward cold areas, on a hot day, it has no where to go but toward a cold glass of water.

How is sweat forming on a glass of ice water similar to cloud formation?

Sweat forming on a glass of ice water and cloud formation both involve the cooling of warm, moist air. As the warm air cools, its capacity to hold moisture decreases, leading to the condensation of water vapor into liquid water droplets either on the glass surface or in the atmosphere. This process results in the visible formation of tiny water droplets in both cases.


Why does glass of water sweat?

The glass is not actually "sweating." What you are seeing is condensation of water molecules from the air onto the glass's surface. Because the water in the glass has less energy than the water in the air (it's cooler), energy from the water molecules in the warmer air is given up to warm the cooler water in the glass. This loss of energy results in the air water molecules' inability to break the number of hydrogen bonds between themselves necessary to remain in the gas phase and ultimately the condensation of water onto the outside of the glass surface.


When water vapor condenses on surfacesit is known as?

Dew, condensation or in some cases: sweat (like when a glass of cold water gets all wet on the outside).


Why a glass filled with a cold beverage seems to sweat?

The phenomena is a good explanation of the condensation processes that is happening in our atmosphere. There are lots of water vapor around us. As this water vapors touch the out side portion of a cold glass, the cold temperature within a cold glass condenses those water vapors, thus, converting it from a gaseous state to a liquid state. Since in its liquid form, it is more denser than gas, the water formed as we termed sweat appears and flow outside a cold glass.

What causes double pane windows to sweat?

The presence of water vapor due to faulty seals is what causes double pane windows to sweat. Double window panes sweat because sunlight causes the gas inside to expand which stresses the seal and allows water vapor inside.


What do sweat glands excrete?

Sweat glands excrete sweat ( which is mostly salt and water).


Why do your windows sweat on the outside?

Windows sweat on the outside when the temperature of the glass surface is lower than the dew point temperature of the air. This causes water vapor in the air to condense on the window surface, similar to how dew forms on grass in the morning.

What causes us to produce fingerprints on a glass?

Fingerprints are left on glass surfaces due to the natural oils and sweat present on our skin. When we touch glass, these oils and sweat transfer onto the surface, creating a visible fingerprint pattern.
