Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
Strictly speaking, dew doesn't "fall". That sense of the Japanese verb 降りる is usually something like "to form (of frost, dew, mist, etc.)"

Yep. Doesn't change the physics.
Idiomatic language usage doesn't always match science.
(When was the last time you saw literally say it raining cats and dogs?)
Personally, I'd more likely say "There was dew on the lawn this morning when I woke up" and wouldn't use either "formed" or "has fallen."
So, for this "There's dew on the lawn."
Yes, I'd be more likely to say something like that, but for examples it's often better to be a bit 直訳.
