Yes. It is a form of condensation that, in the atmosphere, results in some form of precipitation. The dust particles are called "nuclei".

What are particles onto which water droplets form?

Particles onto which water droplets form are called cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). These particles can include dust, sea salt, and pollution. When water vapor condenses onto these particles, it forms cloud droplets.


What are small particles in the air around which water vapor condenses?

Small particles in the air around which water vapor condenses are called condensation nuclei. These particles can include dust, pollution, salt crystals, or other tiny particles that provide surfaces for water vapor to collect and form into droplets. Without condensation nuclei, it would be more difficult for water vapor to condense into clouds, fog, or precipitation.


What are particles of dust or salt in air where water vapor condenses on to form clouds?

Condensation Nuclei


When water vapor changes to liquid water it does what?

When water vapor changes to liquid water, it condenses. This process releases latent heat energy into the surroundings.


Which process causes clouds to form on particles of dust?

Cloud formation on particles of dust is caused by a process called condensation. Water vapor in the air condenses on these particles, forming tiny water droplets that eventually accumulate to become visible as clouds. The particles provide a surface for the water vapor to gather and grow into larger droplets.


What term or word is used to describe the process of water vapor changing back to a liquid?

Water vapour condenses to liquid water. The process is condensation.


What is the process of clouds forming when water vapor in the air becomes liquid water?

condensation (the water vapor condenses onto the small dust particles in the air creating clouds)


The heat released when water condenses and changes to liquid form is called?

heat of condensation


Is the amount of water in the air called condensation true or false?

False. this is called humidity. Condensation is when water vapor condenses into liquid water.


What does water vapor collect around to form a cloud?

Water vapor collects around tiny particles, called condensation nuclei, such as dust or salt, in the atmosphere. As more water vapor condenses onto these particles, they grow in size and eventually form clouds.


What happens when water in the air condenses onto tiny pieces of?

When water in the air condenses onto tiny particles, it forms droplets. This process is called condensation and is the basis for cloud formation. The water droplets eventually become large enough to fall as precipitation, such as rain or snow.


What is a condensation nucleus?

A condensation nucleus is something that is found in a cloud droplet. Condensation nuclei are tiny solid particles such as dust, smoke, or even bacteria onto which water condenses, allowing clouds to form.
