absorb
Yes. There is latent heat release when vapor condenses.

Yes.
heat of condensation
Radiates it (mainly as infrared photons).
The heat released when water condenses and changes to liquid form is called the latent heat of condensation. This heat is released because the water vapor loses energy as it transitions to a liquid state, leading to a release of thermal energy.
When water vapor condenses into liquid water, it changes from a gas to a liquid state due to a decrease in temperature. This process releases energy in the form of heat, known as the latent heat of condensation. Condensation is responsible for the formation of clouds and precipitation in the atmosphere.
When a gas condenses into a liquid, it releases heat to its surroundings. This is because the molecules in the gas lose kinetic energy as they come closer together to form a liquid, which is then released as heat energy.
A liquid absorbs energy from its surroundings in order to turn into a gas, a process called vaporization. This energy is used to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the liquid molecules together.
The heat is transferred to a medium such as air or water.
The component in the refrigeration cycle that rejects heat is the condenser. In the condenser, the refrigerant, which is in a gaseous state, releases heat to the surrounding environment and condenses into a liquid. This process is essential for maintaining the cycle, as it allows the refrigerant to absorb heat from the interior space when it returns to the evaporator.
When water vapor changes to liquid water, it condenses. This process releases latent heat energy into the surroundings.
