Answer the following questions:

What are the prerequisites for condensation?

Condensation is a process by which water vapour is converted into water. The following are the prerequisites for condensation to take place:


1. Firstly, the presence of water vapour in the atmosphere is required for condensation to occur.


2. Secondly, low temperature is important as it decreases the moisture holding capacity of the air which leads to condensation.


3. Finally, fine particles such as dust, salt etc. need to be present around which condensation happens.
