Can air humidity(water vapor) fall like rain in a room?

AI Thread Summary
High air humidity can lead to condensation when the temperature drops, but it does not fall like rain; instead, it may form mist or fog. When cold air enters a room, it can cause humidity to condense on cold surfaces, such as beverages or air conditioning vents. While condensation can occur rapidly, it typically does not result in significant water droplets falling in the room. The process involves warm, humid air coming into contact with cooler surfaces, leading to moisture accumulation. Understanding this process clarifies why a room remains dry despite changes in temperature and humidity.

Hello,


I wanted to know if air humidtiy is high because of a higher temperature does it fall like rain on me or on the clothes or ground what ever after a drop in temperature?

The drop in Temperature also means a drop in humidity where does the water vapor goes, i know about cold places in a room where it condense but can it also condense just in a minute when i open the window and the colder air drops the temperature of the room?

How is the process can anyone explain it to me why we are still dry?

thanks!

I know for a fact it won't fall like rain however it will drip.
Please notify me if you need more information.
 
Condensation due to drop in temperature and high humidity is usually in the form of mist or fog, not drops.
 
My assumption is that raindrops form and grow due to falling long distances through clouds. If they begin at a high cold altitude, the drop would be cooler than the vapor it passes through, causing it to condense that vapor as it comes in contact with it.

Humidity in a room would condense on anything cold it touches, such as a cold beverage or an air conditioning vent. Theoretically, I suppose, cold air from an a/c could also generate drops of condensation in the air itself, but I would think these drops would immediately evaporate into the surrounding cold air from the a/c. The only reason I think condensation might form on the a/c vent itself is because it is metal and holds temperature and because the warm humid air would creep in from the walls as the air stream blows away from the ceiling.
 
The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
