Question

What is condensation? What are its types?

Answer 1

Condensation

• Condensation is the process through which the physical state of matter transitions from a gaseous to a liquid state.
• It is the reverse of vaporization as in vaporization liquid is converted into gas.

Types of Condensation

There are various forms of condensations available which can be named as follows:

• Fog: When water vapor, or water in its gaseous state, condenses, fog forms.
• Haze: Traditional definitions of haze refer to an atmospheric phenomenon in which airborne dust, smoke, and other dry particulates reduce visibility and sky clarity.
• Mist: A phenomenon known as the mist is brought on by tiny water droplets floating in the chilly air, typically due to condensation.
• Dew: Dew is water that condenses into droplets and forms in the morning or evening on thin, exposed things.
• Cloud: In the atmosphere of a planet or other similar space, a cloud is an aerosol made up of a visible mass of tiny liquid droplets, frozen crystals, or other particles.
• White frost: Heavy coating of frost.
• Smog: It is a type of pollution.
