Condensation:
It is the process of conversion of water vapor to water.
Condensation takes place by the following condition:
- The temperature of air decrease below the dew point with the same volume; as a result, water vapor present in the air gets converted to water.
- The temperature of air and volume of air decrease
- Extra moisture added to the air and make saturation of the air.
- Generally, condensation happens due to rising of the air; temperature decrease and dew point of air decrease; as result moisture gets converted to water;
Types of Condensation:
- Dew
- Frost
- Fog
- Cloud
Dew:
- Tiny drops of water form after condensation near the earth's surface are called due.
Frost:
- Air is supercooled below the freezing point is called frost.
Fog:
- Mass of tiny drops of water that forms after condensation nucleus near the earth's surface.
Cloud:
- A cloud is a mass of tiny drops of water at higher altitudes.
