The invention provides a method and system for preparing fresh water by using dew condensation temperature difference between seawater and fresh water. The method comprises the following steps: a, heating seawater to 45 to 65 DEG C by using heat exchange heat of a refrigeration apparatus; b, subjecting the heated seawater to primary desalination so as to form low-salinity fog; c, subjecting the low-salinity fog formed by primary desalination to low-temperature dew condensation in a range of 8 to 12 DEG C so as to allow fresh water molecules in the low-salinity fog to become dew through condensation and recovering powdery salt crystal formed uncondensed high-salinity fog; and d, carrying out secondary desalination with a reverse osmosis membrane and active carbon and purifying obtained fresh water until fresh water meets drinking water standards. The system comprises a water pump, a seawater storage container, a seawater heating container, an ultrasonic atomizer, the refrigeration apparatus, a fan and a second
