Fog or clouds.
Air is able to hold a certain amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, and the amount is dependent on the temperature and pressure of the air. Higher temperature air can contain more transparent water vapor than colder air can. We calculate the "relative humidity" of the air as the ratio of how much water the air DOES contain divided by the maximum amount of water that the air could contain, for a given temperature.
When air cools, the absolute amount of water contained in the air does not change, but the air's ability to hold it decreases. So as air cools, the "relative humidity" increases. We can also calculate the temperature at which the air is at 100% relative humidity; that is to say, the air can't hold any more water. We call this temperature the "Dew Point".
When the air cools down to the "Dew Point", moisture in the air begins to condense onto cooler surfaces, and we call these droplets of water on the grass and trees "dew". If the water condenses into tiny droplets in the air, it will form fog on the ground, or clouds above the ground surface.

Condensation water cycle definition?
The cooling of water vapor in the atmosphere is known as condensation. It then comes to earth in the form of precipitation.
What is the matter state of water in the atmosphere?
Gaseous
What happens when liquid water evaporates to form water vapor?
This phenomenon is called evaporation. Water molecules at the water surface gain sufficient energy to be released in the atmosphere.
What form of water is the most abundant at any time in the water cycle?
water vapor
What are the steps of water vapor to sleet?
The water vapour in the atmosphere condense to form clouds. It may precipitates in the form of sleet.
What is the most form of water in the atmosphere?
Water vapor
How is water stored in the atmosphere?
Water is stored in the atmosphere in the form of water vapor.
Why is water droplet a liquid?
because water in the atmosphere is in a form of vapor
In order for clouds to form what must be present in the atmosphere for water vapor to condense on?
Water vapor or the heat
What gas from the atmosphere condenses to form clouds?
Water vapor
Why does water vapor need solid particles in the atmosphere to form clouds?
Particles are needed because then the water vapor can condense on them
What water vapor in the atmosphere to form clouds?
water vapors combine together in the air. They form clouds.
Clouds form when water vapor in the atmosphere cools to?
Its Dew Point
Why does water form on windows when there isn't hydrogen in the atmosphere?
Water forms on windows because there is water vapor in the atmosphere, which is water in a gaseous state.
What is water called that exists in the atmosphere?
Water existing in gaseous form makes up the water found int the atmosphere and this is called Water-vapor.
What clouds form when water vapor in atmosphere cools to its dew point and?
condenses
Clouds form when water vapor in the atmosphere cools to its dew point and .?
condenses
