The transition of water from a vaporous state to a liquid state is known as condensation.

One can observe droplets on the outer surface of the spectacles when he or she moves from a colder region to a warmer region. It is due to the magnitude of the low temperature of the glass, that is, its surrounding becomes cooler than it was before.

Due to this, the water in the form of water vapor in the air around the outer surface of the glass condensates and settles down and thus converts into the form of a liquid, that is, droplets.
