Are rocket fuels running out?
No, rocket fuel is liquid Hydrogen and liquid Oxygen, both of which are abundant and just require energy to extract from water and/or the atmosphere. The fuel that provides the energy might be limited however ;)
How does the sun make it rain?
Rain is produced by the water cycle and the sun provides the energy for that cycle.
What additives give rocket engines forward momentum?
Chemical rockets combine a fuel chemical and an oxidizer chemical to produce combustion products (a new, combined chemical with an ever-so-slightly lower mass than the components, and lots of energy). In the space shuttle main engine (SSME) the fuel was liquid hydrogen (other common liquid fuels are alcohol and kerosene) and the oxidizer was liquid oxygen. The rocket engine is a bell with an open end, or nozzle. When the hydrogen and oxygen are combined in the bell, they burn to produce water vapor and energy. The released energy forces the mass of the water vapor out the open end of the engine in one direction and, by conservation of momentum (Newton's third law), the mass of the rocket is propelled in the opposite direction. So, rather than a specific additive, everything that is burned in the engine provides mass that contributes to the momentum that propels the rocket.
How can you change liquid water into water vapor?
By heating it.
How would evaporation and condensation work in a sealed terrarium exposed to sunlight?
Any liquid exposed to a gas (water and air in the terrarium) will undergo evaporation. This is due to the internal energy which the particles of liquid will always have unless their temperature is 0 K. When the particles collide they transfer their energy to one another. When a particle at the surface of the liquid receives enough energy to be transformed into the gas phase it evaporates (essentially boiling one particle) while the remaining liquid remains under the boiling point of the liquid. When a terrarium sits in the sunlight it will warm up, receiving thermal energy and exciting the particles in the liquid. The increased thermal energy within the system will increase the rate of evaporation. Increased surface area of the liquid exposed to the gas will also raise the evaporation rate. As the liquid transforms into a gas, it fills the space occupied by the air within the terrarium. When so much moisture enters the air that can no longer hold any more humidity it has reached its dew point. The gaseous liquid begins to fall out of suspension and condense into its liquid phase again. Droplets of liquid will appear on the walls and cover of the terrarium as a result. Cooling the walls and cover of the terrarium will increase the rate of condensation.
What happens to the energy level of solid water as it become liquid water?
The things that happens to the energy level of solid as it become liquid water is that the liquid has more energy than solid do. Simple as that! BY: ANONYMOUS :)
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 energy from the sun become after the liquid water becomes in the air?
The energy stored in water vapor is generally called latent heat.
When a liquid becomes a what when losing enough energy?
when liquid loses enough energy then it will be transformed to the solid stat. For example if we get energy from liquid water then the water molecules can not move with same speed that they had before, therefore they will loss their activity and become solid. like ice
The change of water from a gas to a liquid?
The process of changing liquid water into a gas is called evaporation. Energy is added to the liquid water - generally in the form of heat. When enough energy is added, it allows the most energetic molecules at the surface of the liquid to break free of the liquid and enter the gas phase. The more energy that is added, the more water molecules will have enough energy to move into the gas phase. If enough energy is added, all the molecules will leave the liquid and from then on adding energy will just make the gas warmer. Another way to change liquid water into gas is to drop the pressure above the liquid. In this case, it takes less energy for the molecules in the liquid to get away from the liquid so some of them will already be energetic enough to get away. Any mass of liquid water will have a range of energies for the molecules, some will be low energy, others high energy with each collision between the molecules, they either gain or loose energy. If they gain enough energy, they can become energetic enough to escape the liquid as a gas. The higher the pressure, the more energy is required to become a gas. If the liquid water is in contact with some gas - air for example. The liquid will evaporate until the gas is saturated with water vapor. At that point the rate of water molecules dropping out of the gas back into the water (because they don't have enough energy to stay in the gas) is equal to the rate of water molecules escaping from the liquid to become gas. This point is also known as "equilibrium".

If you heat some liquid water increasing the kinetic energy the particles may escape and become a?
if its ice it will turn into a liquid.
When water changes from a solid to a liquid energy is?
Energy is used when water changes from a solid to a liquid.
When water changes from a liquid to a gas heat and energy do what?
When water changes from a liquid to a gas, it is evaporating or boiling. The "heat and energy" of the water molecules increases in the gaseous state. In fact, water molecules must pick up energy to change state from a liquid to a gas. Water molecules that are free to move as a gas have more kinetic energy than water molecules in a liquid form (as long as the liquid is not pressurized). The "heat and energy" of the H2O molecules that are now a gas is higher than that of liquid water.It should be noted that the thermal energy (heat) necessary to cause water to change state and become a liquid must come from somewhere. In evaporation, the energy necessary for the water molecule to escape from the liquid comes from the liquid. The liquid cools. We know that if we wet our finger and blow on it, it feels cool because evaporating water cools liquid water from which it escapes. That evaporating water has taken energy from the liquid water.In the case of boiling, water molecules take energy from liquid water, but the liquid water might not be cooling. It probably isn't as that liquid water is having thermal energy (heat) pumped into it by a heat source of some kind. Turn on a burner or element on the range under a pan of water and the water will begin warming until it's boiling. As water boils off, it is taking thermal (heat) energy with it, but the remaining water doesn't cool down as the heat source continues to add more thermal energy.
Why on heating a liquid to boiling point heat energy is converted to potential energy?
the heat is a form of energy...and heat is stored is the water...so heat energy become potential energy because heat is stored in water
When gases turn into water is it due to compression?
Gases turns into liquid because it loses its kinetic energy and gains the potential energy,all with effect to its surrounding.In gas state this kinetic energy provides pressure,heat and other forms of forces.When in liquid state,the potential energy provides surface tension,viscousity and other kind of effects
What provieds energy for earths water cycle?
Sun provides energy for earth's water cycle. It provides thermal energy for evaporation.
