A vapor is a substance diffused or suspended in the air, like smoke or fog, while a gas is homogeneous.
A vapor can be liquefied by pressure alone, while a gas can not.
Under either definition the gas is a more stable state as there are fewer events that can upset them.

In general, gases are more stable than vapors. Gases are in the gaseous state at room temperature and do not require any additional heat energy to maintain their state. Vapors, on the other hand, are substances that are typically in the liquid or solid state at room temperature but have evaporated into the gas phase due to heating or a decrease in pressure.

Which is more stable out of gas and vapour?
A gas - since a vapor is but a gas close to its condensation point.
What is another word for gas but not air?
Vapor is another word for gas that is not air.
Water vapor holds in heat and distributes it during?
Water vapor in the atmosphere acts as a greenhouse gas by trapping heat and re-radiating it back to the Earth's surface. This process helps regulate the Earth's temperature and maintain a stable climate.
What is another term for a gas?
A gas is something that is not be liquid or solid
Water that is gas two words?
Water in the form of a gas is called steam.
Which is more stable out of gas and vapour?
A gas - since a vapor is but a gas close to its condensation point.
Does water vapor affect how explosive a volcano is?
Yes. More gas trapped in magma leads to a more explosive eruption. Water vapor is the most abundant gas in magma.
What does water become when it evaporated?
More correctly it becomes a vapor, but a gas is still an acceptable term.
What does the prefix atmo mean?
gas, vapor
Why does the atmosphere's composition remain stable?
The Earth's atmosphere is stable because is mostly oxygen and nitrogen. These two parts of the atmosphere are equal to about 99% of all dry air gas. Water vapor accounts for negligible amounts. While the composition of water vapor, carbon dioxide and ozone can vary in concentration, all other elements remain stable.
Is water vapor a liquid gas or solid?
Water vapor is a gas.
Is water vapor a liquid solid or gas?
Water vapor is a gas.
Is a water vapor solid liquid or a gas?
Water vapor is a gas.
Does water vapor in the air become gas?
water vapor is a gas its self
In which of the three states of matter are the particles close together and moving randomly?
Gas/vapor.
Can vapor sublimate?
No, a vapor is a gas. Sublimation is the process by which a solid becomes a gas (vapor).
Why can more water vapor be present when air is warmer?
There is more water vapor present in the air when it is warmer because it is hotter and it causes more evaporating to occur and the liquid is turning into a gas.
