evaporation
Evaporation is what puts the vapour into the atmosphere, but once it's there
it's called cloud, and I bet you knew that!
How about "humidity" ?
'Vapor' is invisible. Cloud is actually liquid and no longer vapor.

What is the gas form of water called?
The gas form of water is called steam or water vapor.
Why is there a greater concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere during the summer rather than the winter?
Evaporation is driven by heat. In warmer weather, more water will evaporate. In colder weather, more water will condense and return to a liquid phase.
Why steam is sometimes visible as in winter?
Its not, steam and water vapor, both gaseous forms of water, are invisible. Water on earth's surface, below it's surface, or in its atmosphere is only visible in the form of liquid or ice. Its possible that under pressure conditions elsewhere in the universe that gaseous water could be visible.
Does water vapor stop gamma rays from reaching earth?
no
Why spectacles sometimes mist over?
When the lenses are cooler than the surrounding air, the water vapor in the air may condense on the lenses, just as the water vapor in your breath condenses into steam when you exhale in very cold air.
What is water called that exists in the atmosphere?
Water existing in gaseous form makes up the water found int the atmosphere and this is called Water-vapor.
What is condensed water vapor in the atmosphere called?
There are a number of names for condensed water vapor in the atmosphere: Mist, fog, clouds, rain, sleet, snow, hail are names for some of the types of condensed water vapor.
What percentage of water vapor is in the earths atmosphere?
The % of water vapor is called Humidity. The attached link will give you more information.
What is the process of liquid water changing into the water vapor and entering the atmosphere called?
evaporation
When water vapor moves out of the leaves of a tree into the atmosphere what is that process called?
It is called Transpiration.
What is the process in which heat is trapped in the atmosphere by water vapor?
It is called the greenhouse effect.
What is the name of the process that involese water vapor in the atmosphere becoming liquid water?
Its called ''condensation''
What does barometric pressure have to do with evaporation?
Above the surface of liquid water is a layer of water vapor. It has pressure. The atmosphere also has pressure. It pushes against the water vapor. The water vapor pushes against the atmosphere. It is called vapor pressure. It is related to temperature. When the vapor pressure equals barometric pressure, water boils. Normally this occurs at 100C or 212F. If you reduce the barometric pressure, you can reduce the boiling point of water. So when the barometric pressure is lower, the water vapor above the water has an easier time mixing with the atmosphere. As it mixes with the atmosphere, it is replaced by vapor from the water. It evaporates.
What is the water atmosphere?
vapor
What is the amount of water in the atmosphere?
The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere varies from place to place. Humidity is the term used to describe the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
What is the process that moves water from the liquid state back into the atmosphere as water vapor?
This process is called Evaporation.
What is Water in its solid state in the atmosphere called?
Solid is snow; liquid is rain and gas is water vapor
