Question
What are the prerequisites for condensation?
Short Answer
Solution
Condensation is a process by which water vapour is converted into water. The following are the prerequisites for condensation to take place:
- Firstly, the presence of water vapour in the atmosphere is required for condensation to occur.
- Secondly, low temperature is important as it decreases the moisture holding capacity of the air, which leads to condensation.
- Finally, fine particles such as dust, salt, etc. need to be present around which condensation happens.
