Why does the windshield fog up when using air conditioning in summer?

Reasons for windshield fogging when using air conditioning in summer: The outside temperature is lower than the inside temperature, causing water vapor inside the car to form many tiny water droplets. Since the surface of the windshield is not perfectly smooth (it has many small pits), these droplets adhere to the windshield, resulting in fogging. Here are two solutions: 1. Lower the temperature: Turn on the air conditioning to reduce the interior temperature to a certain level. 2. Use detergent: Apply a small amount of detergent to a cloth and wipe the inside surface of the windshield. This will prevent fogging even without air conditioning, as the detergent fills the pits on the glass surface, preventing water droplets from adhering. This method is highly effective in practice.
