Forms of condensation: dew, frost, fog, and mist

This Class 12 Geography topic from “Water in the Atmosphere” explains how water vapour changes into visible forms near Earth’s surface. Students learn how cooling, the dew point, relative humidity, and the availability of condensation nuclei produce dew, frost, fog, and mist. The topic distinguishes these forms by temperature, physical state, visibility, and formation conditions, including the role of surface cooling, calm air, and suspended droplets or ice crystals. It also helps students understand their effects on weather, visibility, agriculture, and daily life.
