Water vapor gets in the air from the process of evaporation. It floats up into the air, and freezes high up and forms clouds. It then either rains or snows down, and the process starts all over again.

Is water vapour not one of the constituents in air?
Water vapour is a constituents in air because water vapour rises in the atmosphere & is always present in the atmospere in some or the other quantity.Also 0.0001% of air consist water vapour
Why is it that you can see clouds but you can not see water vapour in the air?
You can see water vapour in the air, as when a kettle or pan boils, or when you breathe out into cold air. It depends on the temperature balance between the vapour and the surrounding air.
What would happen if the air in the upper atmosphere were warmer than the water vapor in the air?
It is impossible for the water vapour in the air to be at a different temperature from the air of which it is a part. However warm air can hold more water vapour than cool air. Thus when air is warming up there are unlikely to be any clouds (clouds are caused by water vapour condensing out of air).
What forms droplets?
Condensed water vapour in the air
What becomes of this water vapour as hot air rises?
hurrycan
When a cloud forms does the temperature of the atmosphere increase or decrease?
Increase:- When water vapour condenses out of the air to form water droplets, the energy (the latent heat) in the water vapour is released into the surrounding air and the air is warmed.

Why can you see clouds but not water vapour in the air?
It is because water vapour is air so it can't be seen but when we breath out in the mirror,water vapour is found.
What refers to the amount of water vapour in the air?
Relative Humidity is the measure of water vapour in air. It is the ratio of the actual water vapour in air divided by the maximum amount the water the air can hold at the existing temperature and pressure. It tells how fast or slow the water on the body or in clothes will evaporate or in otherwords is the air dry or humid. Absolute measure of water vapour in air is called specific humidity. It can be measured as ratio of mass of water and mass of dry air.

Why does exhaled air saturated with water vapour?
water vapour is produce during respiration
What is occurring when you can see your breath on cold days?
The air that you exhale contains water vapour. When you exhale during a cold day, the relative humidity increases. Relative humidity is actually the percentage of the amount of water vapour in the air.(the maximum amount of water vapour that the air can hold at that temperature) The colder the air, the less water vapour it can carry. When exhaled, air mixes with cold air, the temperature of the exhaled air drops, but there is more water vapour. When the air becomes saturated, (relative humidity is 100%), the extra water vapour will condense, allowing you to see your breathe on cold days.
What is specific humidity and relative humidity?
Relative humidity compares the amount of water vapour present in the air with the amount of water vapour that would be present in the same air at saturation. Specific humidity is the mass of water vapour present per kg of total air.
What is the name for gaseous water in the air?
water vapour
What is the name for the water gas in the air?
Water vapour.
Is water vapour released through water vapour during transpiration?
Yes, water vapor is released through a process called transpiration.
What are three pollutants released into the air when fuels are burned?
Carbon dioxide, water vapour and nitrogen.
