Condensed water vapor near the surface is referred to as precipitation. The condensed water vapor forms clouds and allows the water to return to the surface as rain, ice, sleet, or snow.

What is liquid that condenses from water vapor on surface?
Condensation
What happened to the water vapor in the atmosphere when the early Earth cooled?
As the earth cooled, water vapour in the atmosphere condensed to a liquid (water) and fell to the earth as rain the make the oceans.
Were is earths water located?
The earths water is located everywhere as water, ice or even gas. Such as water vapour in the air.
Almost all of the water vapor in earths atmosphere is contained in the?
Troposphere. This is the lowest section of the earths atmosphere that contains 75% of the earths atmosphere by mass and 99% of the earths water vapour. This section of the atmosphere starts at the surface and extends 7-20km up, the thickness depending largely on where you are in the world.
What did scientists hypothesize about earths early atmosphere and the way the ocean was formed?
The first ever atmosphere was hydrogen and helium (they call this the primary atmosphere) because these elements are light they were knocked off due to solar storms (charged particles from the sun) The dense rocks that formed the and the vast temperatures beneath caused many volcanic erupts which spat out carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, methane and water vapour forming the secondary atmosphere, these heavier elements did not get "knocked" off by solar storms. As the surface of the earth began to cool the water vapour in the atmosphere condensed into perciperation(rain) which ultimately over-time continued to cool the earths surface and make the oceans in the depressions in the earths surface. The oceans are salty because they erode away at the rocks and other elements beneath the surface. The ocean and rain began to dissolve the ammonia and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, ultraviolet light shining through the earths atmosphere also broke down water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen and broke remaining ammonia that (in effect is too high) to be dissolved by the ocean into nitrogen and hydrogen. The combination of nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen (and of course other small amounts of other elements) is what are atmosphere is now made of. Makes you wonder what could happen to change our atmosphere in the future, let's hope not too dramatically so we have atleast some time to evolve? :p
How is vapour used in a sentence?
The water vapour condensed on the windows. The vapour rising off the acid made me choke.
What is water called when it is a gas?
The gas state of H2O is called water vapour. However, it is not steam, as steam is a collection of small condensed water droplets.
What forms droplets?
Condensed water vapour in the air
What is inside the clouds?
condensed droplets of water vapour
One word for 'expected' and one word for 'condensed vapour'?
Expected means "anticipated." Condensed vapor is "liquid/"
Is a cloud a vapour?
yes, they are condensed water. See the water cycle!
What is moisture in the air called?
Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapour and then be heavy enough to fall, under gravity.
What is it called when the surface of a liguid turns to gas?
Evaporation. (The liquid turns into vapour)
What is liquid that condenses from water vapor on surface?
Condensation
How we can separate freshwater from saltwater?
The separation is done by evaporating the water off as a vapour leaving the salt crystals (and any sediment) behind. The water vapour is then condensed back into fresh water. The process is called desalination.
What happened to the water vapor in the atmosphere when the early Earth cooled?
As the earth cooled, water vapour in the atmosphere condensed to a liquid (water) and fell to the earth as rain the make the oceans.
What does it mean when water is condensed?
the water vapour is cooled down to create water
