Relationship between Condensation and Precipitation

As a basis, condensation is known as the physical process by which a gas becomes a liquid which is the opposite of evaporation. When moisture cools and reaches saturation point, the tiny particles of water condenses into larger drops of water.

In scientific terms condensation explained a chemical reaction in which water or another simple substance is released by the combination of two or more molecules. The physical process is represented by a liquid being removed from a vapor or vapor mixture.

 

Condensation can be form into:

Dew: Tiny drops of water formed when condensation of water vapor occur at or near the surface of the earth.

Frost: It is a frozen condensation that occurs when air at ground level is super cooled below the freezing point.

Fog:   A mass of tiny drops of water that form when water vapor condenses on a nuclei near the earth's surface.

Clouds: A cloud is a mass of tiny drops of water that results from condensation which takes place high up in the atmosphere.
