Why are Condensation and Evaporation opposite?

Condensation is the process of changing water vapor to liquid or water due to the "Releasing of Heat", while Evaporation is the changing of water to water vapor due to the "Absorption of Heat"

Or, in short:

  • Condensation = releasing of heat
  • Evaporation = absorption of heat

So that is why they are different or opposite

Because evaporation requires heat (the latent heat of evaporation) and condensation releases heat (the latent heat of condensation).

Condensation is when water vapor condenses into water, but evaporation is when water is heated enough that it changes into a gas (water vapor) and then can be condensed back into water again.
