How does the water on the outside of a cold glass get there?

There is water in the form of water vapor, sort of like steam, in the air. But, the amount of water the air can hold depends on the temperature of the air. The hotter it is the more water it can hold. But, when the air touches the side of a cold drink glass the temperature at that place drops dramatically and the air can't hold nearly as much water as it has been, so the water comes out of the air (condenses) onto the glass.


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 do you call it when water appears on a window?

Condensation. This occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface like a window, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water droplets.


Explain why condensation occurs primarily when the air is cooled.?

Condensation occurs when warm air cools down, causing the air to reach its dew point temperature. As the air cools, it loses its capacity to hold water vapor, leading to the excess water vapor turning into liquid droplets that we see as condensation. This process is most commonly observed when the air is cooled, such as when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface.


How interact the water and air?

Water and air interact through processes like evaporation, which involves water transforming into water vapor when it comes into contact with air. Additionally, the movement of air creates waves and ripples on the surface of the water. Wind can also influence the temperature and behavior of water bodies through processes like mixing and heat exchange.

From where do the living things on earth receive most of their energy?

that depends on what it is. if its a plant it comes from air water and sunlight. if its an animal it comes from food water and sleep. if you are only looking for one thing that energy mostly comes from it would be water.


Where does most of the water in the air come from?

Most of the water in the air comes from the process of evaporation, where water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water transforms into water vapor. This water vapor then gets carried into the atmosphere through processes like transpiration from plants or from human activities like industrial processes and combustion.


Where does most of the evaporation comes from?

If you are referring to water vapor in the atmosphere, most comes from the largest water source on the planet, the oceans.


Where does the water vapor in your breath comes from?

The water vapor in your breath comes from water contained in your body, particularly in your lungs and airways. As you exhale, this water is released into the air in the form of vapor.


Does salt comes from sea water?

yes Not all salt. There are salt mines all over the world where most of our salt comes from.

What is the most effective means of corrosion?

I think AIR is the most effective mean of corrosion and the most appealing example is the corrosion of iron when it comes in contact with air.


When water drops form on cold glass where does the water comes from?

The water comes from the air. Air as it exists under normal conditions in the atmosphere contains some small fraction of water vapor. When the glass is cold the water molecules strike the glass and cool off, becoming liquid.

Why does your car leak fluid every time you reverse?

most likely it is water coming from the air-conditioner unit. this water comes from the air that is cooled by the air-conditioner. the water is supposed to drain from the car when the car is level. OR, if the liquid is coloured it is from the engines cooling system. this means you have a leak and it is catching somewhere. when you reverse it runs out of the catchment.
