The temperature you’re thinking of is called “dew point”. It depends on pressure and humidity of air. edit:. since everyone else went off track, I’ll elaborate (and answer the last part of your question, about cold water) If you maintain your glass of water at the temperature above the current dew point, water will evaporate until the glass is empty If you maintain you glass of water at the temperature below the current dew point, water will condense into the glass (as well as on the outer walls of the glass, making a puddle). This is what happens if you take a glass of water from the fridge and the glass fogs up (although as soon as it warms up past dew point, those water droplets will evaporate and it will become clear again) If you maintain your glass of water at exactly the dew point temperature, the volume of water in it will never change because it will be in equilibrium with the water vapor in the air. Of course the exchange of molecules between liquid water and air will not sto
