The humidity in your breath condenses on the (cooler) glass surface.
Because the steam from a shower goes on the mirror and once the temperature cools , the droplets turn steam turns into water , this is called condensation. Another example of condensation is when you leave a glass of water and ice outside. The evaporating steam on the ground touches the glass and forms water droplets on the outside of the cup.

What happens when steam from a kettle or hot shower touches a cool tile or mirror in what way is water changing its state?
The steam condenses to form water droplets on the cooler surface.
How does a rainbow get its colours?
Right after a thunderstorm, there will still be some water droplets in the sky. When the sunlight shines on these water droplets, the white light that is reflected off the water droplets is split into seven different colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, indigo.
When water vapor forms liquid water droplets on a window in the early morning this is and example of?
dew
Why are droplets of water that form on a cold glass a physical change?
The formation of water droplets on a cold glass are a physical change because it's nothing more than condensation. The water that is in the air is a gas, and it has undergone a change of state to become a liquid (the droplets). If the water and the glass fused and made another element that could not be made back into either of its two original forms, then it would be a chemical change.
Why does your breath turn white when its cold?
The water vapor in your exhaled breath condenses- it goes from very warm to very cold. The drop in temperature makes the VERY moist exhaled breath condense into water droplets. Those water droplets are visible, just as a cloud is visible.
What are 3 steps that occur for a water molecule to end up on mirror?
Water molecules in the air condense onto the surface of the mirror due to a decrease in temperature, forming tiny droplets. The droplets accumulate and spread on the mirror surface due to gravity and surface tension, forming a thin film of water. Over time, the water evaporates back into the air as the temperature increases, completing the cycle.
What do you observe if you blow your breath on the mirror?
You will see water droplets forming on the mirrorthe mirror steams up and forms condensation on it and becomes misty. when it cools down it forms water droplets.the water particles from you mouth/lungs are exhaled from your mouth and stick to the new surface, the mirror. if you notice, it happens with everything, even wood, just not as noticable.condensation the water droplets in your breath attach to the mirror and fog it
What happens to the particles when steam condenses onto a cold mirror?
When steam condenses onto a cold mirror, the water vapor in the steam loses energy to the cold surface of the mirror. This causes the water vapor to change phase from gas to liquid, forming water droplets on the mirror's surface.
What is another examples of condesation?
When you see water droplets forming on the outside of a cold drink glass or on a mirror after a hot shower, that is also examples of condensation.
What are 3 examples of condensation?
when we take a bath the mirror has on it some gas, the steam on the sauna, and maybe fire
What is the forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere.?
Condensation
How the water vapour condenses on the mirror?
When the warm water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the mirror, it loses heat energy. As a result, the water vapor cools down and changes from a gas to a liquid, forming tiny water droplets on the mirror. This process is called condensation.
When you breathe on mirror water droplets form this is an example of?
diffusion
Do droplets suspend in the air forming water vapor?
No. Water vapor can't be seen or felt. "Droplets" suspended in the air are still liquid water.
What are examples of water condensing?
when we take a bath the mirror has on it some gas, the steam on the sauna, and maybe fire
How does water vapor in the air change into liquid droplets forming clouds?
condensation
What is a description of evaporaton?
Where water condenis and froms water fapor eg after a shower there might be water droplets on the mirror
