What is the process of clouds forming when water vapor in the air becomes liquid water?

condensation (the water vapor condenses onto the small dust particles in the air creating clouds)


Clouds are made when water droplets attach to particles of what in the air?

yes it is made of water vapor ====================== No. Water vapor is an invisible gas. You can't see water vapor. Clouds, on the other hand, can be seen. That's because clouds are composed of water droplets - liquid water, or water ice - tiny ice crystals. Either way, clouds are not invisible water vapor. Clouds can form as water vapor condenses to form tiny droplets of liquid water. These droplets can come together - coalesce - to form larger droplets. You've seen fog. Fog is a cloud at ground level. And if you've seen fog, then you've seen that clouds are composed of tiny water droplets suspended in air. Clouds can also be composed of ice crystals. (Cirrus clouds) In one case liquid water can freeze to form ice particles. It is more likely that water vapor undergoes "deposition", the opposite of sublimation. Sublimation is the process where a solid goes directly to the gas phase without going through the liquid phase. Deposition is the process where a gas goes directly from the gas phase to the solid phase.


What happens to water vapor when it cools then condenses around dust and salt?

When water vapor condenses around dust particles a cloud is formed


What are the 4 steps that clouds form?

Clouds can form in one of four ways: mountains, the rise of air masses, cold or warm weather fronts, and surface heating. Cumulus clouds form by surface heating or mountains, status forms by weather fronts, and all types can form by the rising of air masses.


How do clouds know where to rain?

This is a good question, though I believe that God directs them, like everything else to where they need to be at any given time. If you want a more scientific answer, the clouds don't plan anything, as they are just water vapor that comes from oceans, lakes, and rivers and the wind blows them and they rip open when they can't hold any more water vapor. The wind keeps the rain distribution at an even pace, as clouds form in one area with that area's water vapor and then move to collect more and more vapor and then rip open somewhere else. It all works out, though mother nature isn't the One who drives the weather, as she can tame the waves or calm the storm.

What water vapor in the atmosphere to form clouds?

water vapors combine together in the air. They form clouds.


Water vapor in the air is also known as?

Water vapor in the air is visible in the form of mist, fog, and clouds.


Do clouds form better in dry or moist air?

Moist air. Clouds are condensation from water vapor.


Where does water vapor go when it enters the air?

Water vapor triggers convection currents that can form clouds.


Clouds begin to form when water vapor in the air reaches the correct?

Clouds begin to form when water vapor reaches the correct: altitude, dew point, and temperature.


What is water vapor and clouds?

Water vapor and clouds are the stages of the water cycle. The sun (without it water cycle count repeat.) shines on the water causing gas to form above the ground and in the air. This is called water vapor. Water vapor accumulates and forms clouds. Once dense enough from all the water vapor it will then precipate as raindrops.


Why do clouds form in the air that has a lot of water vapor?

What part of the water cycle makes clouds?

Condensation


How does the sun cause clouds to form?

The Sun's energy warms on Earth heated water turns into water vapor air holding the water vapor rises and cools water vapor turns into water droplets and ice crystal's causes clouds to form.


What is the process that alonds clouds to form when water vapor in the air become liquad water?

Evaporation.


Do clouds form when water vapor in the atmosphere cools to its dew point?

A dew point is the amount of moisture in the air so as the air cools water condenses and form clouds.


What kind of gas does a cloud have?

Water vapor and air. Water vapor condenses to produce clouds. Even if air has no visible clouds it still has water vapor.
