Solution

Dear student,

Our breath contains water vapour which when comes out in the outer atmosphere that is cooler gets condensed on a surface and hence the glass surface looks hazy due to deposited water droplet.

The temperature of the atmosphere in summer is such that the glass is heated and when the vapours comes in contact with surface,
it does not get converted into droplets. Thus, we do not observe the same effect in summer.
