Condensation on Earth occurs when warm air cools down and cannot hold as much water vapor, causing the excess vapor to form liquid droplets on surfaces like windows or grass. This process is a crucial part of the water cycle, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation.
When water droplets fall to the earth, it is called rain.
Most condensation on Earth takes place in the atmosphere, where water vapor in the air cools and turns into liquid droplets. This process is essential for the formation of clouds, fog, and precipitation.
Condensation nuclei enter the Earth's atmosphere through natural processes such as sea spray, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and dust storms. Human activities like burning fossil fuels and industrial processes also release condensation nuclei into the atmosphere.
The three processes are evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Evaporation occurs when water on the earth's surface turns into vapor and rises into the atmosphere. Condensation happens when the water vapor cools and turns back into liquid form, forming clouds. Precipitation occurs when the condensed water droplets in the clouds fall back to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Cloud formation involves three main processes: 1) evaporation of water from the Earth's surface, 2) condensation of water vapor into tiny droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere, and 3) the aggregation of these droplets or crystals to form visible clouds.
Condensation is the process where water vapor comes together to form liquid water (or any other liquid).
This is the water cycle on Earth.
