| definition: |
When a gas changes into a liquid, we call it condensation. Condensation happens when a gas cools to a certain temperature.
When you take a cold bottle out of the refrigerator into warm air, you can start to feel tiny drops of water on the bottle. This is because of condensation. Water vapor in the air surrounds the cold bottle and gets cool. The coolness turns the vapor, which is a gas, into water.
