Solution

  • We see droplets on the outer surface of a glass that contains ice-cold water is due to Condensation.
  • Condensation is the process in which a substance changes from gas to liquid.
  • The water vapors present in the air, on coming in contact with the cold glass of water, loses energy and get converted to the liquid state, which we see as water droplets on the glass surface.
