Directions: Read a short passage, “What is Dew?”, then answer questions below.

What Is Dew? If you are an observant person, you will notice that grass, leaves, and even flower petals contain tiny drops of water in the morning. These tiny drops are actually the result of moisture from the air which has condensed during the night to form dew. Thus, dew is moisture deposited directly from the air on surfaces near the ground, and this change occurs when the temperature cools. Dew should be differentiated from other types of precipitation, like sleet or drizzle, fog or mist. Sleet or drizzle freezes before reaching the ground: fog or mist, on the other hand, is moisture suspended in the lower atmosphere and does not settle on surfaces.

a.   What is the main idea of the reading passage? b.   How is dew formed? Differentiate it from sleet and fog. c.   In which books do you get information on topics like this?
