Answer:

A cold can or glass cooled the air surrounding it.

When you cool a gas, it loses kinetic energy. As the particles move more slowly, the attractions among them cause droplets of liquid to form. ... Slowly moving particles near the cool surface condense as they lose kinetic energy.

Molecules define what states of matter an object is. The more compact, the more solid, and the more free and loose, the more gaseous. Anyway, gases condense when cooled because the molecules in the gases come closer together and form a more condensed state of matter.
