Condensation is the process where a gas changes into a liquid. It's the opposite of evaporation.
Here's how it works:
* Water vapor: When water evaporates, it turns into a gas called water vapor.
* Cooling: As this water vapor cools down, it loses energy.
* Change of state: When the water vapor cools enough, it loses enough energy to change back into a liquid. This liquid forms tiny droplets that we see as condensation.
Examples of Condensation:
* Dew on grass: Cool air in the morning causes water vapor in the air to condense into tiny droplets on grass.
* Fog: Water vapor in the air condenses into tiny water droplets, forming fog.
* Clouds: Water vapor in the atmosphere cools and condenses to form clouds.
* Sweat on a glass of cold water: Warm air around a cold glass of water cools down, causing water vapor in the air to condense on the glass.
* Steam on a mirror: When you shower, the warm, moist air condenses on the cooler mirror, creating steam.
