Why does morning dew seem to only soak things that are mostly ‘outdoors’?

802 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

I keep a motorcycle outdoors under a waterproof cover, but noticed that with morning dew the bike is still noticeablely wet on the inside of the cover.

Meanwhile a buddy has his bike in a plywood shed that is by no means air tight but has 4 walls and a roof, but no insulation or air handling fans/AC and he says dew is never an issue..what’s the difference?

Morning dew prefers the great outdoors, just like we do. It’s all about exposure – your bike gets more of it under that cover versus your buddy’s shed-protected bike.
