Water vapor can travel up to the upper atmosphere, reaching altitudes of around 10-15 kilometers. At this height, it can contribute to the formation of clouds and precipitation.

What happened to water vapor before it turned to water?

Water vapor is a gas once it has evaporated from liquid due to the cause of heat. After it turns into vapor, it will then travel up through the atmosphere and change back into a liquid.


When water is heated in the atmosphere what does it do?

If you're talking about the basic water cycle, starting in the ocean, water evaporates into vapor (Evaporation) rising up until it reaches it's the dew point, then the water condenses and travel towards higher ground, sometimes it travels as far as sea level ground (Condensation), when it reaches that heavy point where the clouds is too heavy to carry the water it drops taking about 10-15 minutes from the clouds to reaches the surface of the Earth if clouds are in the strato zone (Precipitation).


What is this form in the sky when water vapor condenses into water droplets?

That describes a cloud.


What is water vapor made of?

Water. Water vapor occurs when water evaporates, or heats up so much that it turns into a gas. This gas is called water vapor, or steam, although steam is hot water vapor.


When water is heated up by the sun and becomes water vapor that is?

When water is heated by the sun, it undergoes a process called evaporation, transforming from liquid water into water vapor. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, where it can cool and condense to form clouds. This process is a key component of the water cycle, contributing to precipitation and the replenishment of water sources on Earth.

How far do mosquitoes typically travel from water sources in search of a blood meal?

Mosquitoes usually travel up to 300 feet from water sources in search of a blood meal.


What percent does water vapor make up of atmospheric gases?

The amount of water vapor in air varies based on the temperature and density of air. The amount of water vapor ranges from a trace amount up to 4%.


What process of water turns into water vapor?

The process of water turning into water vapor is called evaporation. It occurs when water is heated and its molecules gain enough energy to escape into the air as vapor. This commonly happens in bodies of water exposed to sunlight, causing the water to evaporate and enter the atmosphere.


What caused water to turn into vapor water?

Water vapors makes up only a few percent of the mass of the atmosphere. However, this small amount of water vapor has in oceans and water bodies changes to a gas, water vapor. The mount of water vapor in the air is called humidity


Is steam water vapor?

Yes water vapor is steam. It is formed when water heats up to 100 degrees Celsius.


Water vapor makes up hat fraction of atmospheric gases?

The amount of water vapor in atmospheric gases is highly variable. More water vapor is found at lower altitudes, at 30,000 feet there is virtually no water vapor. There is a maximum of 4% water vapor in the atmosphere at any time.
