What happens to the water vapor in the air when the air is cooled to its dew point?

When water vapor reaches its dew point it then becomes saturated. Either the vapor falls as rain, or if it is a cool clear night it forms as dew on surfaces. if the surface is cold enough it can also form as frost.

What happens to water vapor when it is cooled?
The water vapor turns into liquid water.
What happens with water vapor when its cooled?
when water vapour is cooled it condenses and falls as rain
What happens to water vapor when it's cooled?
it goes threw a cycle
What happens when water vapor is cooled?
it turns back from a gas to a liquid
What happens if water vapor is cooled below the freezing point of water?
The most obvious answer is that the vapor will condense rapidly, even possibly before your eyes. By condense, I mean that the vapor will quickly turn into a liquid state. It will then freeze into a solid state (ice).
What can cause water vapor in the air to be cooled?
The process is called condensation. It occurs when the water is cooled below its boiling point due to the temperature in the environment cooling it.
When saturated air is cooled what happens to its capacity to hold water vapor?
The capacity becomes smaller, and the water condenses out (the source of fog).
Describe what happens when water vapor rises and cools to the dew point?
As water vapor cools to the dew point it converts from a gas back to a liquid.
What causes water vapor turn back into liquid?
When water vapor is cooled it turns into liquid.
When cooled enough water vapor into water droplets?
condenses
What happened to water vapor before it turns to water?
It cooled.
Why would it be highly unlikely for temperature and dew point lines to criss-cross on a graph?
Dew point is supposed to be the temperature that water vapor is cooled to. If the air is colder than the condensation point (dew point) then it isn't being cooled.
