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.

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.


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.

When we put some ice in a glass we see some water droplets on its outer surface. From where and how they come?

The water droplets form on the outer surface of the glass when the warm, humid air around the glass comes into contact with the cold surface of the ice, causing the air to cool down past its dew point. This leads to condensation, where water vapor in the air turns into liquid water droplets that collect on the glass.
