You walk outside on a cool summer morning and notice the grass is wet despite that it did not rain. Which statement best explains what happened?

• Water can only appear on grass when it rains, so it had to have rained that night.

• Warm, moist air was cooled down to the dew point temperature during the night, which caused water vapor to condense into liquid on the cool grass.

• Water was taken up by the grass from the soil and then "sweated" out by the grass.

• There is no explanation for the water on the grass. It must have just appeared.
