Does temperature and humidity affect the amount of condensation formed?

Question

When will the most condensation form? Will it be when the temperature increases or decreases? Will it be when the humidity increases or decreases?

Answer 1

Good question. Temperature is an indicator of how much water vapor the air can hold. So the higher the temperature the greater the air's potential to hold water vapor. The humidity is based on this temperature and on the dew-point, which is an indicator of how much water vapor the air does hold. When the temperature is decreased to the dewpoint at night condensation will begin to form as dew. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

As temperature decreases in can't hold as much water so humidty goes up to the point condensation happens.
That is why a warm day there is water on the outside of glass of ice water. The air next to the glass is cool to the point water comes out of the air and forms condensation.

Answer 3

Water vapor from air which naturally condenses on cold surfaces into liquid water is called dew. Water vapor will only condense onto another surface when that surface is cooler than the temperature of the water vapor, or when the water vapor equilibrium in air, i. e. saturation humidity, has been exceeded. When water vapor condenses onto a surface, a net warming occurs on that surface.
The water molecule brings a parcel of heat with it. In turn, the temperature of the atmosphere drops very slightly. In the atmosphere, condensation of water vapour is what produces clouds. The dew point of an air parcel is the temperature to which it must cool before condensation in the air begins to form.
Also, a net condensation of water vapor occurs on surfaces when the temperature of the surface is at or below the dew point temperature of the atmosphere. Deposition is a type of condensation. Frost and snow are examples of deposition (or sublimation). Deposition is the direct formation of ice from water vapor.
Applications of Condensation Because condensation is a naturally occurring phenomenon, it can often be used to generate water in large quantities for human use. In fact, there are many structures that are made solely for the purpose of collecting water from condensation, such as fog fences, air wells and dew ponds. Such systems can often be used to retain soil moisture in areas where active desertification is occurring. In fact, certain organizations use education about water condensers in efforts to effectively aid such areas.
