When gas molecules transfer their energy to something cooler, they slow down and their attractions cause them to bond to become a liquid. Making water vapor colder increases the rate of condensation. Increasing the concentration of water vapor in the air increases the rate of condensate..
It's the middle of summer, and the sun is shining. You have been helping your parents outside with yard work for the past hour, and you're sweating! After the work is done, you head inside to cool off in the air conditioning and grab a glass of water. Since you'll be going to the movies later, you decide to take a quick shower. You glance at yourself in the mirror before getting in, noticing that your face is slightly burnt.
After your shower, you take another quick look to see if your sunburn is any worse. But wait! You forgot to turn the fan on and the mirror is now covered with fog. You wipe a section with your hand and notice that there are small beads of water on the mirror. Where did the fog and beads of water come from?
Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. In other words, the water in the air, a gas known as water vapor, from your hot shower cooled when it met the surface of the cold mirror. This caused the water vapor to condense, or turn into its liquid form. You notice it as moisture or beads of water and fog that has formed on the mirror.
You can also think of condensation in terms of being the opposite of evaporation, or the process of a liquid turning into a gas. This happens when a pot of water is boiled on the stove. The steam, another form of water vapor, and bubbles you see in the boiling pot of water are evidence of the liquid being changed into gas.
