Our neighbor went to the south to spend their winter vacation, but just now I heard there was some sound in their house, so I looked into the house from the window, but it was too cold, there was ice on the glass. I scrubbed it clean by puffed several times. Then I found it was messy inside. I think there must be a thief, so I called you as soon as possible.

普通玻璃是一种很容易导热的材料,当室内温度高于室外时,室内的水蒸气碰到冰冷的玻璃就会结成小水珠,如果室外的温度低于零下十几度,室内的水珠就会凝固,冻结成漂亮的冰花。
