Question

Which form of condensation takes place when cool, moist air comes in contact with a hard, solid surface?

Options

• Clouds

• Fog

• Dew

• Sleet

Answer 1

Dew

Explanation:

Dew forms when cool, moist air comes in contact with a hard, cold surface. The moisture in the air condenses into tiny droplets of water on that surface. This commonly happens in winter mornings when objects like grass, leaves, or car windows cool down overnight, and moisture condenses out of the air onto them, forming dew. This form of condensation specifically involves direct contact between moist air and a solid surface, unlike fog or clouds, which remain suspended in the air.
