Condensation (Reversion of Evaporation)  is the formation of a liquid by a vapour during cooling.

Condensation is connected by a strong  decrease of volume:
Quick condensation of vapour in a closed container may result in the collapsing of a container due to a negative pressure
(= Implosion).
Condensation is an important step during distillation ( water from Cola, "alcohol", petrol) and formation of clouds.

Clouds are visible accumulations of condensation products of water vapour:
very small droplets of water (and/or ice).

The smoke of one cigarette contains 10 mg of tarr as condensate.
