What is Dew?
Moisture collected from the atmosphere by the action of cold. During the day, the powerful heat of the sun causes to arise from the earth and water a moist vapor, which, after the sun sinks below the horizon, is condensed by the cold, and falls in the form of dew. Dews are more copious in the Spring and Autumn than at any other season; in warm countries than in cold ones: because of the sudden changes of temperature. Egypt abounds in dews all the summer; for the air being too hot to condense the vapors in the day-time, they never gather into clouds and form rain.
Which choice best shows how dew is formed?

Which choice best shows how dew is formed?
- Moisture is collected -> The heat causes moisture to rise -> It becomes a moist vapor -> The cold causes it to condense -> It falls to the earth as dew
- Moisture is collected -> The sun causes moisture to rise -> It turns into water -> The water falls to the earth -> The cold causes it to condense
- Water falls to the earth -> Heat causes the water to rise -> It turns into a moist vapor -> The cold condenses the vapor
- Water falls to the earth -> The cold condenses the water -> It rises into the air -> The heat turns it into a vapor
