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 does water vapour means?
Water vapor is the gas form of water, typically formed when liquid water evaporates or sublimates. It is colorless, odorless, and plays a crucial role in Earth's water cycle, as it can condense to form clouds and precipitation.
What does vapor mean in the water cycle?
In the water cycle, vapor refers to the gaseous state of water when it evaporates into the atmosphere from bodies of water like oceans, lakes, or rivers. Vapor can condense back into liquid form to form clouds or precipitation, completing the water cycle.
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.
How Do Water Droplets Form?
Water droplets form through a process called condensation, where water vapor in the air cools and changes back into liquid form. This can happen when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cooler surface, causing the water vapor to condense into droplets. This process is commonly seen on surfaces like windows or mirrors.
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.
Does water boiling turn into air?
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.
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.
Why does water vapor condense?

Can water vapour condense on tree?
Yes, water vapor can condense on trees when the temperature of the tree surface is cooler than the dew point temperature of the air. This can happen during cool nights or when trees are shaded from the sun. The condensed water droplets appear as dew on the tree's surface.
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.
How do you separate sea water from pure water?
evaporate the water or evaporation. condense the water vapour or condensation
Can water vapour condense on wooden surface?
no it can't because wood is not cold
Why does dust particles present in the air help water vapour to condense?
somehow
When water changes from gas to a solid?
Water as a vapour (gas?) has to condense back to water, which can then become a solid if frozen.
Condensation occurs when?
Condensation occurs in cold when water vapour condense to form tiny droplets of water.
What happens when a liquid condenses?
I don't think you can condense a liquid, you can evaporate a liquid eg water which turnns into water vapour then when the water vapour gets colder it cools and condenses
