Answer:

The process that probably led to water droplets on the roof is known as moisture by condensation

Step-by-step explanation:

This moisture by condensation originates when the surface temperature in a wall, or in this case, the glass of the greenhouse is lower than the dew point of the outside environment. For this moisture to occur due to condensation there must be a temperature difference greater than 2 ° C between the dew temperature and the cold surface (glass of the greenhouse).

The most common reason for the condensation on the inside of the roof is the evapotranspiration from the leaves of the plants in the conservatory.
