Water droplet nucleation requires overcooling which influences which outcome?

💡 Explanation

Lowering the temperature reduces the equilibrium partial pressure via Clausius-Clapeyron relation because this temperature change shifts the phase equilibrium; therefore, a certain level of supersaturation enables nucleation to occur, rather than immediate widespread condensation across the system.
