Dew is a type of water droplet that forms on surfaces during the night or early morning. It is formed when the air is cool and the surface is warm, causing CONDENSATION (12 letters) to occur. Dew is often associated with FRESHNESS (9 letters) and MOISTURE (8 letters), as it is a source of both. It is also referred to as a dew DROP (4 letters) or dew of the morns (5 letters), and is commonly found on mountain tops (3 letters).
