Condensation is gas (water vapor) turning into liquid. The correct examples are:
- A rain gauge overflows after large thunderstorms — rain is liquid formed by condensation of atmospheric water vapor.
- A person's glasses fog up when stepping into an air‑conditioned room — water vapor in warm air condenses into tiny liquid droplets on the cooler lenses.
Not condensation:
- The bottle bursting in the freezer is freezing (liquid → solid and expansion).
- The bowl losing water in the sun is evaporation (liquid → gas).
- A rain gauge overflows after large thunderstorms — rain is liquid formed by condensation of atmospheric water vapor.
- A person's glasses fog up when stepping into an air‑conditioned room — water vapor in warm air condenses into tiny liquid droplets on the cooler lenses.
