How does gravity affect condensation?
Well, if you increase the pressure of the atmosphere, isothermally, around water high enough, then you will overcome the 'vapour pressure' of the water, or the pressure of the water's surface back on the atmosphere to put is very, very simply. SOOOO, if you increase gravity, then you increase atmospheric pressure, which will condense any water vapour in the air. You can decrease gravity to see that the vapour pressure of the newly condensed liquid water will overcome the atmospheric pressure and vaporize. Keep in mind this works in standard conditions, not at extreme temperatures and pressures.
What gas in our atmosphere that causes humidity?
Water vapour. Or steam which is the gas state of water. Evaporation of water from the surfaces of rivers, lakes and mainly the oceans, an important part of the water cycle on Earth.
Why does dew appear in early morning and not at noon?
the air capacity for holding water depends on temp'. the warmer it is the more water vapour it can hold. during the night air temp' drops to its lowest near dawn at which point the amout of water vapour in the air may exceed its reduced capacity (this point is called the dew point) and water vapour condences and forms dew.
Does water vapour have a freezing point?
Water VAPOUR literally does not have a chemical freezing point because it is in the process of evaporation which is above freezing.
What role does evaporation play in the water cycle?
Evaporation moves the water from the earth's surface up into the atmosphere. It helps to make the water form clouds from water vapour and condensation. It helps to convert the water vapours (its gas form) to water (its liquid form).
What happened to the water vapor in the atmosphere when the early Earth cooled?
As the earth cooled, water vapour in the atmosphere condensed to a liquid (water) and fell to the earth as rain the make the oceans.
Can water vapour be turned back to liquid?
Yes, in the atmosphere water vapour falls as rain.
When it reaches the atmosphere what happens to rainwater?
it becomes water vapour in the atmosphere.
Water vapour in the atmosphere is confined only to?
ionosphere
What does humidity?
Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere
What is the process by which water in plants is tranferred as water vapour to the atmosphere?
transpiration
What was the compsition of early atmosphere when the Earth first formed?
Water vapour (produced rain-rivers, lakes, oceans) carbon dioxide nitrogen
Is water vapour not one of the constituents in air?
Water vapour is a constituents in air because water vapour rises in the atmosphere & is always present in the atmospere in some or the other quantity.Also 0.0001% of air consist water vapour
What is the most variable in the atmosphere?
The most variable abundance in the atmosphere is Water Vapour and Ozone
What is the definition Humidity?
amount of water vapour in the atmosphere, or in a gas
Does vapour pressure include the partial pressure of water vapour in the atmosphere during boiling process?
The partial pressure of water (vapor) is included in the total pressure of the atmosphere (air) when boiling.
What is the most variable abundance in the atmosphere?
The most variable abundance in the atmosphere is Water Vapour and Ozone
