Question

Why do we see water droplets on the outer surface of a glass

containing ice cold water?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Condensation can also produce water droplets on the outside of soda cans or glasses of cold water. When warm air hits the cold surface, it reaches its dew point and condenses. This leaves droplets of water on the glass or can. ... Those flat bottoms are where vapor begins to condense into water droplets.

Answer 2

Condensation can also produce water droplets on the outside of soda cans or glasses of cold water. When warm air hits the cold surface, it reaches its dew point and condenses. This leaves droplets of water on the glass or can. ... Those flat bottoms are where vapor begins to condense into water droplets.

Warmer water inside the glass moves away from the ice and to the outside of the glass. ... Water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cold glass, losing energy to it and condensing into droplets.
