Explanation:

Condensation is influenced by the volume of air, temperature, pressure and humidity.
Condensation takes place:
(i) when the temperature of the air is reduced to dew point with its volume remaining
constant;
(ii) when both the volume and the temperature are reduced;
(iii) when moisture is added to the air through evaporation.
However, the most favourable condition for condensation is the decrease in air
temperature.
