Ice does not need to melt into liquid water before it can return to the atmosphere as water vapor?

This is correct. This process is called sublimation. Hot dry winds, like the Chinook in the western US, can do this, as well as direct sunlight on Antarctic ice.

What processes return water vapor to the atmosphere?
The main processes that return water vapor to the atmosphere are evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when liquid water changes into water vapor from sources such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. Transpiration is the process through which plants release water vapor from their leaves into the atmosphere. Both of these processes contribute to the water cycle by replenishing the atmosphere with water vapor.
What is Water in its solid state in the atmosphere called?
Solid is snow; liquid is rain and gas is water vapor
What happens in evaporation?
Evaporation is a process by which water from liquid or solid state passes in to vapor state and is diffused in to atmosphere.
What Is the primary process that moves water from the liquid state back into the atmosphere as water vapor.?
This process is called Evaporation.
What is the matter state of water in the atmosphere?
Gaseous

What happened to water vapor before it turned to water?
Water vapor is a gas once it has evaporated from liquid due to the cause of heat. After it turns into vapor, it will then travel up through the atmosphere and change back into a liquid.
Why is water droplet a liquid?
because water in the atmosphere is in a form of vapor
Does the refrigerant in the evaporator become liquid to vapor or stays vapor?
it starts as a liquid and turns into vapor before going into the compressor
What contributes to the return of water vapor to the atmosphere?
The sun evaporates water from bodies of water, which is turned into water vapor
How is liquid water heated by the sun and then rises into the atmosphere as water vapor?
condensation:)
What process makes water vapor visible again as liquid in the atmosphere?
Condensation
What is the name of the process that involves water vapor in the atmosphere becoming liquid?
condensation
When vapor pressure equals atomospheric pressure what is the liquid?
The Liquid will turn into gas. The boiling point corresponds to the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. If the liquid is open to the atmosphere (that is, not in a sealed vessel), it is not possible to sustain a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure, because the vapor will simply expand until its pressure equals that of the atmosphere.
Water vapor in the atmosphere is called?
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.
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid has an external pressure of 1 ATM is the?
The vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to 1 atmosphere at 100 degrees Celsius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because for a liquid to boil, its vapor pressure must rise to reach standard atmospheric pressure, which is about 1 atmosphere. When enough heat is present to do this, the substance will boil.
What is the process of liquid water changing into the water vapor and entering the atmosphere called?
evaporation
