When warmer air comes into contact with the cold surface of the ice, it causes condensation of water vapor in the air, forming tiny water droplets that appear as mist or fog on the surface of the ice. This effect is similar to what happens when you see your breath on a cold day.

Why do you see water droplets on outer surface of glass containing ice-cold water?

This is because the air around the tumbler contains water vapour in it. When these water vapour came in contact with the cold, they contact with cold water, loses energy and converted into liquid state, which we see as water droplets.


How can steam come from my mouth from spit?

When the warm air from your lungs meets the very cold air of winter it condenses into visible water vapour. This is the steam you see.


Why does ice gives out fumes when exposed to air?

Ice does not give out fumes when exposed to air. It changes directly from a solid to a gas through a process called sublimation. This occurs because the vapor pressure of ice is lower than the partial pressure of water vapor in the air.


Why do you see water droplets on the surface of glass containing water?

because its condensation. Heat evaporates the water and the cold surfaces condense the vapour back to liquid.


What other forms of ice do you see in the winter?

snowflakes, hot cocoa, squinkies, barbie dolls, and chalkboards


What is the difference between mist steam and water vapour?

mist steam are the condensed water vapour and we can see them but we cant see the water vapours


Is it true that ice doesn't float in water?

Yes it does. To see the explanation, look to the related question below.


Why can you see clouds but not water vapour in the air?

It is because water vapour is air so it can't be seen but when we breath out in the mirror,water vapour is found.

Can I see my reflection in ice?

Oh, dude, no way! Ice is like super reflective, so yeah, you can totally see your reflection in it. Just make sure you're not melting the ice with your hotness, or you'll just see a puddle instead of your beautiful face.


What happens when you pour water over dry ice why does this happen?

The bubbles you see that come from dry ice are filed with carbon dioxide and water vapour the surface tension of the water causes the bubbles to happen and when you bow on them the presure of the wind breaks the surface tension releasing the CO2 and eater.
