Condensation in aerosol dynamics

Okay, so you know when you take a shower and the bathroom gets all steamy? That happens because the hot water from the shower is turning into tiny water droplets in the air. That's called condensation.

Now imagine there are tiny particles in the air already, like dust or pollution. And imagine those particles are flying around really fast, bumping into each other and going all over the place. That's called aerosol.

When a lot of aerosol particles are moving around together, sometimes they bump into each other and stick together. That's called coagulation. And when enough of those sticky particles get together, they become big enough to make water droplets from the moisture in the air stick to them. That's called condensation in aerosol dynamics.

So really, it's just like when you take a shower and the air gets steamy, but with tiny particles in the air that stick together and make water droplets.
