How go you know that the air exhaled by us contains water vapour?

because it condenses into water when your hot breath is exhaled onto a cold object.


What are the water droplets on cars or grass in the early morning?

The water droplets known as dew form when the air temperature passes below the "dew point" and water vapor condenses from the air onto the cooler objects. When cooled, air can no longer hold as much moisture.


What is a cloud's condensation nucleus?

A condensation nucleus is something that is found in a cloud droplet. Condensation nuclei are tiny solid particles such as dust, smoke, or even bacteria onto which water condenses, allowing clouds to form.


What is cloud seeding and does it work?

Cloud seeding - consists of spraying a microscopic powder of Silver Iodide into clouds. The water vapour condenses onto the particles, which call as rain. It's an effective way of releasing the water from rain clouds over a designated area.


What is the life cycle of hail?

It starts life when water vapour in a cloud condenses onto a nucleating particle which may be a bit of dust. The droplet falls through the cloud. However, it is caught by an updraft which takes it up into higher and much colder regions of the cloud where it freezes. At the same time more vapour condenses on it and so it becomes a bigger piece of hail. It falls, due to gravity, only to be caught in another updraft. After several journeys up and down the cloud, the hail is too heavy for an updraft to raise it and so it falls to earth.

What happens to water when it condenses?

Water can't condense. Condensation is about something turning from a gas to a liquid. Once it has become a liquid it can't be come liquid-er.

How does vapor change to liquid?

It condenses, this is what happens when the particles in a gas cool down. If you breath onto a piece of glass you can see a small amount of condensation


What is the meaning of the idiomatic expression of condensation?

Condensation is not an idiom. It is when the air is so saturated with water than the water drips off or condenses onto solid surfaces.


What provides the energy to make water change its state in the water cycle?

The sun evaporates water, which condenses onto dust particles to make clouds, which precipitates to form rain


What is the process called when water vapor in the air changes to liquid water?

Condensation.Related Information:For water vapor to become liquid water, it must loose energy, molecule by molecule. Often this occurs when water vapor contacts a cooler surface. In the atmosphere, water vapor condenses onto a small, cooler particle to form a very small droplet of liquid water, or condenses onto an existing droplet of water making it larger.
