Why does water vapor condense?
The air needs to be cooled, the amount depending on how much water vapour is in it. When it's cooled sufficiently the water vapour will condense on solid things as water, or become very small droplets (fog/cloud). When this happens in the early mornings we call it dew, and the temperature at which the water will condense is known as the dewpoint.
What causes precipitation to form?
Precipitation is a general term for when one substance settles out of another. More specifically when a solute settles out of a solvent. I am assuming you are asking about precipitation that we know as rain. Heat evaporates water and that water vapour becomes a solute in the solvent called the atmophere. When the atmosphere can't hold any more water vapour, the vapour condenses back into liquid water and falls to earth. The key idea is this. Colder air won't hold as much water as warmer air. What this means is that when air cools, at night or when it rises into a cooler environment higher in the atmosphere, its ability to hold water decreases and this is what most often causes water to condense into liquid and "fall" (precipitate) out of the air. One other condition that needs to be met is that there are nuclei; tiny microscopic particles for the water to condense on. Usually these are dust particles or pollution. So, short answer. Air cools and loses the ability to hold water vapour. The water condenses on a nuclei, becomes a water droplet and grows too heavy to stay suspended in the atmosphere. So it falls the the ground. Hope this helps.
What is the process called when water vapor in the air changes to liquid water?
Condensation.Related Information:For water vapor to become liquid water, it must loose energy, molecule by molecule. Often this occurs when water vapor contacts a cooler surface. In the atmosphere, water vapor condenses onto a small, cooler particle to form a very small droplet of liquid water, or condenses onto an existing droplet of water making it larger.
What does water vapour means?
a pure gas of oxygen and hydrogen The water cycle is driven by the Sun's energy. When water evaporates, it turns into the invisible gas called water vapour.
How does rain get into the clouds?
Water turns into clouds by condesation... you need some hot water and smoke or ashes and high preasure.
How the water vapour condenses on the mirror?
The surface of the mirror is cooler than the surroundings. When the water vapour comes into contact with the surface of the mirror, they condense.
When you breath onto a cold window and water droplet's appearit is an example of?
Condensation.... The colder temperature of the glass, causes the water vapour in your breath to condense out.
Can water vapour condense on tree?
no
Does air turn into water?
No, when water boils it evaporates into single water molecules. We can see the cooler of these as they condense into steam. Steam or water vapour is the water molecules re-condensing into water droplets.
Does water boiling turn into air?

Where did the droplets of water come from?
Droplets of water will condense on a surface when the surface drops below the Dew Point temperature at that relative humidity.That is, the vapour condenses into a liquid phase. The droplet shape is caused by surface tension of the liquid.
What forms in the sky when water vapour condense into water droplets?
these form in the sky when water vapour condenses into water droplets
Why water vapour condense on mirror?
because mirrors are cold
Is water changing to water vapour a reversible or irreversible change?
It is reversible . Water vapour can condense and become liquid. Evaporation and condensation are phases in the water cycle
How do you separate sea water from pure water?
evaporate the water or evaporation. condense the water vapour or condensation

Would you expect alpha beta or gamma rays to produce a white cloud trail in a chamber?
When charged particles pass through a 'Cloud Chamber'; a chamber in which the condensation is only just occurring; occasionally they will alter, by collision, the charge on a water vapour molecule. Thus this vapour molecule will be attracted to an adjacent vapour molecule and condense to a droplet. And be seen.
