How to we see images?
Light reflects of the surface of an object into our lens. The light refracts and focuses to the retina. The retina changes the light to an electrical signal.

A cold glass of lemonade on a hot, sunny day will start to sweat. However, lemonade did not leak through the cup. What happened?
The warm air coming into contact with the cold cup caused an energy transfer that allowed for the water vapor in the air to condense back into liquid form.
What must weather conditions be in order for a big storm to occur?
A cold, moist air mass confronts a warm, moist air mass forcing the warm air to rise. Because of all of the condensed water molecules, the force of gravity becomes stronger than the updraft and it storms.
