Condensation is when water vapour turns into liquid water.
This can happen when water vapour cools down or when it touches a cold surface.
Condensation is what causes water droplets to form on the outside of a cold glass of water.
The condensation on the windows made it difficult to see.

The word "condensation" comes from the Latin word "condensare", which means "to make dense". It is made up of the prefix "con-", which means "together", and the verb "densare", which means "to make dense".
Why can condensation build up on a window?
