n.

v.

Dew
Dew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening. As the exposed surface cools by
radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture
condenses at a rate greater than that of which it can
evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets.When temperatures are low enough, dew takes the form of ice; this form is called
frost.Because dew is related to the temperature of surfaces, in late summer it is formed most easily on surfaces which are not warmed by conducted heat from deep ground, such as: grass, leaves, railings, car roofs, and bridges.

About
Dew
To feel the dew falling on you in your dreams, portends that you will be attacked by fever or some malignant disease; but to see the dew sparkling through the grass in the sunlight, great honors and wealth are about to be heaped upon you. If you are single, a wealthy marriage will soon be your portion.
