Impervious to moisture
What does it mean by impervious to moisture? Let’s say this.
The window glass is impervious to moisture. Does it mean moisture doesn’t form on the window glass?
The definition of impervious was not allowing gas or liquid to pass through something but moisture forms on the outside of the surface and not passes through so in that sense it’s not applicable.
Top answer
The definition of impervious in the sense of "waterproof glass" is that the liquid water on the outside will not pass through it to the inside. My car's glass windshield is impervious to rain, sleet and snow. However, a temperature difference between the inside and outside air will cause moisture to condense on the glass - on either side.
