【英语时差8,16】为什么天冷车窗会起雾？（上）

（单词翻译）

To get at what is going on here first we need to recall what the temperature of an object says about that object’s atoms. The atoms of any object are always in motion jiggling around, and the temperature of an object is a measurement of the average jiggling of that object’s atoms: the hotter the object the faster the average jiggling of its atoms. If the temperature of air is dropped below a specific temperature, called the dew point, then the water vapor¹ in that air condenses into a fog as the water molecules² jiggle around slower and slower and eventually clump³ together.
