English term or phrase: dew and frost

I need two different words for dew and frost if it is possible. Dew means drops of water condensed on a cool surface, esp at night, from vapour in the air. Frost means a white deposit of ice particles, esp one formed on objects out of doors at night.

Dew is the term for small droplets of water that appear on thin objects in the morning or evening. This is a form of condensation. Dew results from atmospheric moisture that condenses after a warm day and appears during the night on cooled surfaces as small drops. The cool surfaces cool the nearby air, decreasing the amount of humidity (dissolved moisture) the local air can hold.

Frost, like snow, is the result of deposition of water vapor in saturated air. If solid surfaces in contact with the air are chilled below the deposition point (see frost point), then spicules of ice grow out from the solid surface. The size of the crystals is a matter of time and the amount of water vapor available.

dew means 'aus', frost = pala, tushar

Explanation:
Dew is translated as 'aus'. There is no debate on it. And tushar and pala these two words are presently used for frost. In India generally on plains there is rare incidence of frost, so these 'tushar' and 'pala' are accepted as equivalents of frost, when the text is of foreign background. In 'pala' as used in Rajasthan of India is slightly different than frost of the west.
