* Cooling: When water vapor in the air cools down, the water molecules slow down.
* Reduced Energy: As the molecules slow down, they lose energy and can't move around as freely.
* Attraction: The molecules become more attracted to each other and start to clump together.
* Liquid Formation: As more molecules clump together, they form tiny droplets of liquid water, which we see as condensation.
Here are some examples of condensation:
* Dew on grass: Cool air near the ground causes water vapor to condense into tiny droplets of water on the grass.
* Fog: When warm, moist air cools, water vapor condenses to form tiny water droplets that hang in the air.
* Rain: As warm, moist air rises and cools, water vapor condenses into larger droplets of water that fall as rain.
* Clouds: Tiny water droplets or ice crystals form in the atmosphere through condensation.
* Water on a cold glass: When you put a cold glass of water on a table, the air around it cools and the water vapor in the air condenses on the cold glass.
