distinguish between dew and frost
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Dew is liquid moisture on the ground that is seen in the morning. At night the ground will cool. If there is enough moisture in the air and the cooling is great enough then condensation will occur on the ground. There is enough moisture in the air that the dew point is reached. Vegetation and animals can get moisture from the dew forming process even when there is no moisture available from rain.
Frost forms is the same way as dew except it occurs when the dew point is below freezing. True frost forms when the temperature is below freezing. The moisture goes straight from a gas to a solid. If the moisture goes from a gas to a liquid and then to a solid then the result will be frozen dew. Frost looks more feathery, brighter and you can see the crystal formations. Dew is solid and does not have quite the white appearance as frost.
