Understanding Condensation

What is condensation?

• A process where water vapor changes into liquid water

• A process where liquid water changes into water vapor

• A process where ice melts into water

• A process where water freezes into ice

What natural phenomenon is a direct result of condensation?

• Dew

• Rain

• Snow

• Hail

What conditions are necessary for fog to form?

• High humidity and cooling temperatures

• Low humidity and high temperatures

• Strong winds and low temperatures

• Clear skies and high temperatures

Why do humid days often feel sticky and uncomfortable?

• Because the air holds more moisture, increasing the likelihood of condensation

• Because the air holds less moisture, decreasing the likelihood of condensation

• Because the air is cooler, reducing the likelihood of condensation

• Because the air is drier, increasing the likelihood of condensation

What role does humidity play in the process of condensation?

• It increases the likelihood of condensation by holding more moisture in the air

• It decreases the likelihood of condensation by holding less moisture in the air

• It has no effect on condensation

• It prevents condensation by absorbing moisture
