When water vapor loses energy what phase change occurs?
When water vapor loses energy it "turns" into a liquid
How and why does typhoons gain energy from warm ocean water?
When ocean water is warm, a lot of water vapor evaporates from it. If air laden with that water vapor rises, as it often does it will cool and the water vapor will condense, which releases energy.
Why is there a limit on the amount of water vapor the air can hold?
It takes a lot of energy to turn water into water vapor. The amount of energy that the water gains to turn into water vapor begins to be transferred into the surrounding air. If the air is willing to take on more energy the water vapor condenses quicker. This is why hot air will hold more water vapor than cold air.
Is energy gained during evaporation?
It should be noted that energy cannot be gained or lost due to energy conservation. But there is a bit more to this as regards the situation being asked about. In terms of the energy of the water vapor, yes, the water vapor has more energy after it has evaporated. It has to have to have evaporated. The water vapor leaves the water from which it came with less energy; it took energy with it to evaporate. Either way, energy has been transferred from the body of water to the water that is evaporating, and it might help to view what is happening in that light.
Which heat is stored in water vapour?
The heat is stored in water vapour is latent heat.Latent heat describes energy that is not stored as the internal energy (i.e. temperature) of an object but in its phase state.For example, in the atmosphere heat that is transported by an air parcel that contains more water vapor than its surroundings. Because energy is needed to turn water into water vapor, water vapor is a way for a body to store energy (along with potential energy, kinetic energy, and sensible heat). If the water vapor is returned to a liquid or solid phase (by condensation or sublimation), the stored energy is released as sensible heat.

Is water vapor gaining or losing energy durning evaportaion?
Water vapor will have more energy than the water. Mainly, this is a kind of potential energy, related to the molecular attractions.
Occurs when water vapor changes to liquid water?
Its a change in energy primarily. Water vapor loses energy and then becomes liquid. The energy it loses generally is heat. For example, Put water vapor in a sealed container in a freezer, it will change from vapor to liquid, then liquid to solid as it loses energy in the form of heat
What process of the water cycle involves storage of energy in the water vapor in the atmosphere?
Condensation involves storage of energy in vapor state. It is the 2nd step of water cycle.
Is energy from the sun asorbed by water vapor or water dioxide?
both,assuming you mean water vapor and carbon dioxide.
Where in the water cycle does water vapor gain energy?
Water gains energy in evaporation to become water vapour.
In order to get liquid water to become water to become water vapor what must be energy?
Energy must be added to liquid water so that it reaches the boiling point, at which point the water will vaporize into water vapor.

What does water vapor need in order to change states from a gas to a liquid?
Water vapor needs to condense by cooling it.
