What happens when water vapor hits the cold atmosphere?
Fog.It makes fog.
Why is the water on the moon frozen?
The moon doesn't have the kind of atmosphere that can hold heat like Earth. Therefor, it is too cold for water.
Why does cloud formation occur higher up?
Because clouds occur when water condenses from water vapour to tiny water droplets. Water condenses when it is cold enough, and higher up in the atmosphere, it is colder.
What are three Goldilocks conditions?
The Three Goldilocks conditions are that the temperature is not too hot and not too cold. It is Just Right. If the earth were much hotter, water would be gas-water Vapor. If Earth were much colder, water would be solid Ice.
A planet with a thin atmosphere is?
Hard to say, as the distance from the star will also factor in, but in general, thin atmosphere would mean no insulation, it would be cold. Mars is a classic example of a planet having a thin atmosphere. It is extremely cold on Mars and has a small amount of carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere but is not in high enough concentration to warm the planet. Mercury has no atmosphere and it is hot and cold depending on which part of the planet is facing the Sun. Venus has a very dense amosphere and it is very hot, no matter which surface is facing the Sun.
What is hydrosphere-cryosphere?
If you combine hydrosphere, a sphere of water, with cryosphere, a cold sphere, you get a sphere of ice.
What is the crystalline water that falls out of the cold atmosphere?
Snow.
In cold snowy areas water is added to the atmosphere through?
sublimation
What happens when water vapor hits the cold atmosphere?

Why is speed of oecan current is higher in noon?
In noon, the sun being high in the sky, increases the temperature of the atmosphere. The oceans 'absorbs' the heat from the atmosphere as heat always travels from hotter substances to cooler substances and the water becomes hot. As hot water is lighter than cold water, it rises up. The cold rushes to take the place of the hot water. This rush of the cold water creates fast currents.
What is a interaction between the cryosphere and hydrosphere?
To release fresh water into ocean water as icebergs melt. Because they are apart of heat.
Earths four major spheres?
Earth's four major spheres are the lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. The lithosphere contains all of the cold, hard solid land of the planet's crust The biosphere contains all the planet's living things. The atmosphere contains all of the air in the Earth system The hydrosphere contains all the solid, liquid, and gaseous water of the planet.
Why it is cold above the atmosphere?
It is not necessarily cold above the atmosphere. In direct sunlight, it can be quite hot.
How can carbon get from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere?
carbon dioxide dissolves in cold ocean surface water. The colder the water, the more CO2 can be dissolved.
Why do water return to the atmosphere?
Heat from the sun evaporates various bodies of water, causing it to go into gas for and float into the atmosphere, where it condenses into clouds from cold temperature, then is reaches the point of normal water, then falls back to Earth the refills the bodies of water and the process restarts.
What conditions might turn liquid water to solid water in the atmosphere?
conditions that might turn liquid water in to solid might be cold degres below zero
