Question

level 4
tiny drops of water that condense at night on cool surfaces is called
a. dew
b. precipitation
c. hail
d. frost

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Dew is defined as tiny water droplets that condense on cool surfaces (like leaves, grass) at night when the air cools, matching the description.
• Option B: Precipitation is any form of water (rain, snow, hail) falling from clouds, not just night - time condensation on surfaces.
• Option C: Hail is ice pellets formed in thunderstorms, not related to night - time condensation on cool surfaces.
• Option D: Frost is ice crystals formed when water vapor freezes (not condenses to liquid) on cold surfaces, so it's not liquid water drops.

Answer:

A. Dew
