When will a white layer on a cold road at night be called frost instead of dew?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When it is in the form of ice crystals

Direct answer: A is correct. Dew and frost are both surface forms of atmospheric moisture, but their physical states differ. Dew is liquid water that condenses on a surface when the surface is cool enough but remains above the freezing condition. Frost is a deposit of solid ice crystals formed when the surface or nearby conditions are sufficiently cold for freezing, often through direct deposition of water vapour or freezing of deposited moisture. Therefore, a white crystalline layer on a cold road should be identified as frost. B describes dew, not frost. C is wrong because a very warm road is not favourable for a frozen deposit. D is wrong because water vapour is the source of the moisture; its absence would not produce frost. The colour alone is not the complete test—physical state and temperature are important. Memory cue: dew is liquid drops; frost is solid crystals.
