Användningsmönster:
condensation of [substance]
Condensation happens when warm, moist air touches a cooler surface or cools down.
A lecsapódás akkor történik, amikor a meleg, nedves levegő hidegebb felülettel érintkezik, vagy lehűl.
In the water cycle, condensation turns water vapor into liquid droplets.
A víz körforgásában a lecsapódás a vízgőzt folyékony vízcseppekké alakítja.
Lowering the temperature causes condensation inside the sealed container.
Exempel för inlärare
