What happens when water vapor hits the cold atmosphere?
When water vapor hits a cold atmosphere, it condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, leading to the formation of clouds. This process is known as condensation and is the first step in cloud formation.
Does the moon have water or wind?
The moon has trace amounts of water in the form of ice at the poles, and there is no significant atmosphere or wind on the moon. Any water present is thought to exist as ice in cold, permanently shadowed craters.
What is the most variable gas constituent in the atmosphere?
Water vapor is the most variable gas constituent in the atmosphere, with concentrations ranging from near zero in dry, cold air to high levels in warm, humid air. It plays a significant role in the Earth's weather and climate system.
A planet with a thin atmosphere is?
Hard to say, as the distance from the star will also factor in, but in general, thin atmosphere would mean no insulation, it would be cold. Mars is a classic example of a planet having a thin atmosphere. It is extremely cold on Mars and has a small amount of carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere but is not in high enough concentration to warm the planet. Mercury has no atmosphere and it is hot and cold depending on which part of the planet is facing the Sun. Venus has a very dense amosphere and it is very hot, no matter which surface is facing the Sun.
Why is there only a small percentage of water vapour in the atmosphere today?
The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere can vary based on temperature, air pressure, and geography. Today, the percentage of water vapor may be small due to factors like low humidity, dry air masses, or lack of recent rainfall reducing the amount of water entering the atmosphere.
What is the crystalline water that falls out of the cold atmosphere?
The crystalline water that falls out of the cold atmosphere is known as snow. Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals and then falls to the ground.
In cold snowy areas water is added to the atmosphere through?
sublimation
In which sphere does condensation occur?
Condensation typically occurs in the water cycle, specifically when water vapor in the air cools and transforms into liquid water droplets, forming clouds or fog. It can also happen when warm air comes into contact with a cold surface, leading to moisture in the air condensing into water droplets on that surface.
What happens when water vapor hits the cold atmosphere?
When water vapor hits a cold atmosphere, it condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, leading to the formation of clouds. This process is known as condensation and is the first step in cloud formation.
What is a interaction between the cryosphere and hydrosphere?
To release fresh water into ocean water as icebergs melt. Because they are apart of heat.
What is hydrosphere-cryosphere?
If you combine hydrosphere, a sphere of water, with cryosphere, a cold sphere, you get a sphere of ice.
Earths four major spheres?
Earth's four major spheres are the lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. The lithosphere contains all of the cold, hard solid land of the planet's crust The biosphere contains all the planet's living things. The atmosphere contains all of the air in the Earth system The hydrosphere contains all the solid, liquid, and gaseous water of the planet.
Why it is cold above the atmosphere?
It is not necessarily cold above the atmosphere. In direct sunlight, it can be quite hot.
What conditions might turn liquid water to solid water in the atmosphere?
conditions that might turn liquid water in to solid might be cold degres below zero
What was the soviet sphere of influence in the cold war?
The Iron Curtain -BAK
What is the reason why air in the atmosphere continuously moves by convention?
Movement of air (and water) is all to do with temperature. Warm air (and water) rises, while cold air (and water) sinks.
When water drops form on cold glass where does the water comes from?
The water comes from the air. Air as it exists under normal conditions in the atmosphere contains some small fraction of water vapor. When the glass is cold the water molecules strike the glass and cool off, becoming liquid.
