Water vapor is water in its molecular form, separate units of H2O floating around in the air.
But air can only carry a certain amount of water vapor. When it gets to be too much water vapor, the water molecules will bind together to form tiny droplets until the remaining free H2O molecules can again be carried by the air.
The process in which excess H2O molecules bond together to form a liquid is called condensation.
The amount of water vapor one amount of air can carry is dependent on temperature, the warmer it is, the more H2O molecules you can have for each unit of air. And also the reverse - the colder it gets, the fewer H2O molecules can be carried in the air.
So the most common cause of condensation is moist air being cooled down.
When you see drops of water forming on something that's just been taken out of the fridge, this is what's happening.
Water vapors makes up only a few percent of the mass of the atmosphere. However, this small amount of water vapor has in oceans and water bodies changes to a gas, water vapor. The mount of water vapor in the air is called humidity
The addition of heat energy to the point of vaporization.
This process is called condensation or liquefaction.

The water becomes a gas and then they turn into clouds. Then it rains the water out the clouds. THATS THE WATER LIFE CYCLE!
When water turns into water vapor it goes through a phase change. The water uses all the energy gained not to increase heat, but turn into a gas. The name for this phase change is evaporation, or vaporization.
It has to cool down and condense.
The water vapor then condenses and becomes a liquid again.
When water vapor is cooled it turns into liquid.
Heat
Increased heat or reduced pressure or both.
water vapor (gas state) can turn into water (liquid state) when cooled.
Condensation
by boiling
Evaporation turns the water from liquid to gas.
That's actually backwards. Freezing liquid water changes it to ice. Boiling it will turn it into water vapor
when water vapor turns to liquid water, it needs to condensate, when its temperature goes below 100 degrees, which is water's boiling point, for it to turn into liquid.
condensation
During the process of Condensation.
Water vapour turns into liquid water when it condenses
