Dew

Dew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets.

Famous quotes containing the word dew:

    “She is as in a field a silken tent
    At midday when a sunny summer breeze
    Has dried the dew and all its ropes relent,”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
    Beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared.

    The mower in the dew had loved them thus,
    By leaving them to flourish, not for us,

    Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
    But from sheer morning gladness at the brim.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
