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

[MQTUAE]

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.

Hello,

Thank you for your question. Air humidity, or water vapor, does not fall like rain in a room. This is because air humidity is not in liquid form, like rain, but rather in gas form. In order for water vapor to fall like rain, it would need to undergo a process called condensation, where it changes from a gas to a liquid state. This typically occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a colder surface, such as a window or a cold wall. This causes the water vapor to cool and condense into tiny droplets of liquid water, which can then appear as fog or mist in the room.

However, when you open a window and let in colder air, the temperature of the room may drop, but the humidity level does not necessarily decrease immediately. This is because the air inside the room still contains the same amount of water vapor, but it is now at a lower temperature. As the air cools, it can hold less water vapor, so the excess water vapor may condense on surfaces or in colder areas of the room, such as near the window or on cold walls. This is why you may notice condensation on these surfaces when you open a window and let in colder air.

I hope this explanation helps to clarify the process of condensation and why we may still feel dry even when the temperature drops. Thank you for your interest in this topic.
