you can see the condensed breath.The physical property of air: it can only absorb a certain amount of water vapor. Warm air can hold more water than cold air, but there is a limit. At zero degrees it is around five grams per cubic meter, at 30 degrees around 30 grams. If the limit is reached, the air is "saturated". If the air you breathe then cools down even further, the water vapor in your breath turns into tiny water droplets that float in the air. "For us, the breath looks like fog"
