  • When people breath they breath out moisture. Most air that we breath has a certain amount of moisture in it unless you are in the desert or air conditioning.
  • Dry air causes our noses to dry out and become uncomfortable.
  • Water needs energy to evaporate and stay as a vapour.
  • These vapour particles lose energy as they strike the cold glass.
  • The vapour then condenses and turns back into liquid water.
  • This is really noticeable when sitting in a car on a cold day. The small air volume in the car soon becomes quite moist from people's breath and condenses on the windows.

Why does a car window fog up on a cold morning?

The air on the inside of the car is warmer than the air outside.


Why doesn't the window fog up on warm day?

On a warm day, the air inside the car is typically warmer than the outside air. This temperature difference prevents condensation from forming on the window, so it doesn't fog up. Additionally, if the car's air conditioning system is running, it helps to remove excess moisture from the air inside the car, further preventing fogging.


Why do car windows fog up?

well it could be because of the heat. if its cold out and you have the heat on in the car, then you will get hot and that will cause the window to fog.


Why does windscreen fog up on a cold day?

condensation


Breathing on a cold window can fog it up which change of state causes this?

When warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface (such as a cold window), the air cools down and loses its ability to hold moisture, leading to condensation. This condensation appears as fog on the window as the water vapor in the air turns into liquid water droplets.


Why do eyeglasses fog up when you come inside from the cold?

When you come inside from the cold, the warm air inside the room causes the lenses of your glasses to heat up. The moisture in the warm air then condenses on the cooler surface of the lenses, creating fog. This is a result of the temperature difference between the lenses and the surrounding air.


When fog appears on the windshield from cold weather is it a chemical change?

No, the fog appearing on the windshield from cold weather is a physical change. It occurs when warm, moisture-laden air inside the car comes into contact with the cold windshield, causing water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets, creating the fog.


Why doesn't the window fog up when you breathe on it on hot days?

It's because on a hot day, the window is not cold enough to condense the water in the breath that is breathed on it. The solubility of a liquid in a gas is temperature dependent, so the water in breath which is a gas mixture saturated with moisture precipitates out when it hits a cold pane of glass. Similarly when you open an oven the moisture from the food cooking lets a steam escape that will fog up your glasses.


Why do we make fog by breathing on the window in the winter?

Water vapor in your breath condenses as tiny droplets of liquid water on the cold glass surface.


Why does window fog even when warm air is blowing on them on car windshield?

Warm air contains more moisture than cold air. The air hits the cold window and the moisture is deposited on the cold glass. It is the same effect that causes your glass full of a cold beverage to start to drip down the sides.


Why do brand new car windows fog up inside in cold weather?

Windows fog because the glass is cold and the humidity is high inside the car. It has nothing to do with the age of the car. Try turning the fan up to circulate the air better, and if that doesn't work, turn the AC on -- but turn the heat up so it doesn't get cold. That will do it for sure.


Why does fog form when you exhale on a very cold day?

When you exhale on a very cold day, your warm breath contains water vapor. When the warm, moist air meets the cold air, it cools rapidly and the water vapor condenses into tiny droplets, forming fog. This happens because cold air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air.
