   Condensation
   The process of formation of a liquid from its vapour: in meteorology, the formation of liquid water from water vapour. Since the capacity of air to hold water in the form of vapour decreases with temperature, cooling air is the normal method by which first saturation, then condensation, is produced. Such cooling is effected by three main processes: (i) Adiabatic expansion of ascending air; (ii) Mixing with air at lower temperatures; (iii) Contact with earth's surface at lower temperature. The water vapour condenses as a cloud in (i), as fog or cloud in (ii), and as dew or hoar frost in (iii).

   Condensation
   The process by which vapour molecules reform a liquid; phase change from gas to liquid state.When a moisture laden gas comes in contact with a cooler surface a change of state from gaseous to liquid occurs e.g. when you breath onto a cold pane of glass the water vapour in your breath condenses onto the glass.Condensation is the opposite process of ...

    Condensation
    The conversion of a fluid from vapour into a liquid state. This happens when air is cooled below its dew point. Near the ground or sea this produces fog. When rising air is cooled, cloud forms.

    Condensation
    `Condensation` is the change in matter of a substance to a denser phase, such as a gas (or vapor) to a liquid. Condensation commonly occurs when a vapor is cooled to a liquid, but can also occur if a vapor is compressed (i.e., pressure on it increased) into a liquid, or undergoes a combination of cooling and compression. Liquid which has been condensed from a vapor is called `condensate`. A device or unit used to condense vapors into liquid is ca...
