water (or condensation) forms on the
outside of the glass. Condensation
occurs because the hot summer air contains humidity, and the cold
surface of the glass cools the surrounding air. Once cooled, the air
molecules become smaller and can no longer hold as much moisture.
The result is that water droplets accumulate on the glass.
