Why do we see drops of water on our bathroom mirrors when we take a hot shower?

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.


Why does the bathroom mirror gets fogged when you are taking a shower?

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.


What happens if a mirror gets too hot?

If a mirror gets too hot, it can crack or warp due to thermal expansion. This can distort the reflection and potentially damage the mirror's surface. In extreme cases, the mirror may shatter.


Why after taking a shower do you notice that small droplets of water cover the mirror. Explain how this happens. Be sure to describe where the water comes from and the changes it goes through?

When you take a hot shower, the warm air causes the water vapor in the bathroom to condense on cooler surfaces like the mirror. The water droplets form as the vapor loses heat and changes from a gas to a liquid upon hitting the cold surface of the mirror. This is similar to how dew forms on grass in the morning.


Where does the water on the mirror come from?

The water on a mirror usually comes from condensation, where moisture in the air comes into contact with the mirror's cool surface and forms tiny water droplets. This often happens when warm, humid air from a shower or a nearby source meets the cooler mirror surface.

The steam condenses to form water droplets on the cooler surface.


Why a bathroom mirror fogged while you take a shower?

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.
