Condensation occurs when

A The air is cold
B The air is warm
C The air is saturated
D None of the above

Correct Answer: The air is cold

Condensation occurs when the air is cold. Cold air holds less water vapor than warm air. This is why warm climates are often more humid than cold ones: Water vapor remains in the air instead of condensing into rain. Cold climates are more likely to have rain, because water vapor condenses more easily there.
