What is it called that occurs when when water vapor cools enough to form water droplets?

This process is called condensation. It happens when the temperature of the air decreases to the point where water vapor loses energy and transforms into liquid water droplets.


What does water do in the water cycle?

Gets evaporated into condensation. Water droplets get formed by the condensation & the more condensation gets added to the droplet, the heavier the droplet gets. When water droplets get heavy enough, they fall (this is called Precipitation). Water also gets evaporated from the trees (this is called Transpiration).


The forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere?

Water droplets and clouds form when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses onto tiny particles like dust or salt, creating small droplets. These droplets then stick together and grow in size until they are heavy enough to fall as precipitation. The process of cloud formation is influenced by temperature, air pressure, and the presence of condensation nuclei.


What does Condensed water droplets in the atmosphere form?

The last answer was just illogical. Condensation is water droplets in the water cycle.


How does the rain get in the clouds?

Rain forms when water droplets in clouds combine and grow large enough to fall to the ground. These water droplets typically come from condensation of water vapor in the air, which collects in the clouds and eventually falls as rain when the droplets become heavy enough.


Why do clouds form before rain?

Clouds form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid droplets. If enough condensation occurs in a cloud then some of the droplets will grow bigger and fall as rain.


What can water in clouds undergoes condensation lead to?

When water in clouds undergoes condensation, it forms into small water droplets or ice crystals. These droplets or crystals may combine and grow larger, eventually becoming heavy enough to fall as precipitation in the form of rain or snow.


Is rain a condensation?

No, rain is not condensation. Rain forms when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into water droplets that become heavy enough to fall to the ground. Condensation is the process by which water vapor turns into liquid water or ice.


What effect do rapidly cooling temperatures have on the water cycle?

There is usually some water vapor in the air. When the air cools rapidly, the water vapor condenses into water droplets. Clouds are made up of these water droplets (or ice crystals, if it is cold enough). If the droplets get large enough, they fall to the ground as rain.


What happens right after condensation?

Water condenses to make clouds, that join together to form larger droplets. When these drops are heavy enough to fall, they return to the Earth's surface as rain, hail, or sleet. If clouds are made of ice particles instead of water drops, they can produce snow.Thus it is precpitation that takes place just after condensation


The condensation occurs at the cloud base where water vapor begins condensing?

Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air cools and changes into liquid water droplets. It happens at the cloud base because that is where the air temperature drops low enough to reach the dew point, causing the water vapor to condense into visible droplets that form clouds.


Does condensation take place when particles leave a liquid and become a gas?

No, condensation occurs when gas particles lose energy and transition into a liquid state. The process involves the gas particles coming together due to cooling, which results in the formation of liquid droplets.
