As the air cools, it can contain less and less water vapor as a gas. So the vapor condenses and creates visible mist called fog, clouds, drizzle, and rain depending on where the water vapor condenses and how much of it condenses. The rain and drizzle forms as the mist groups together and creates the droplets and drops.

What happens when water vapor loses energy?
When water vapor loses energy, it undergoes a phase change from a gas to a liquid, a process known as condensation. This can happen when the temperature decreases or when the vapor comes into contact with a cooler surface.
What is frozen water vapor on a surface called?
Frozen water vapor on a surface is called frost. It forms when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a surface that is below freezing temperature, causing it to freeze and form ice crystals.
What is the process that changes water vapor into clouds of fog?
The process that changes water vapor into clouds of fog is called condensation. When warm, moist air comes into contact with cooler air or a cooler surface, the water vapor in the air condenses into tiny water droplets, forming fog.
When does water vapor in the air condence when does water vapor in the air condence?
Water vapor in the air condenses when it cools below its dew point, which is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated with moisture. This can happen when warm air cools down, such as at night, or when moist air comes into contact with a cooler surface.
What is water vapor doing when it changes to water?
When water vapor changes to water, it undergoes condensation, where the water molecules lose energy and come closer together to form liquid water droplets. This process usually occurs when the temperature decreases or when the vapor comes into contact with a cooler surface.
How does condinsation accour?
Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air cools and turns back into liquid water. This typically happens when warm air comes into contact with a cooler surface, causing the air to cool down and its water vapor to condense into droplets.
What happens when water vapor loses energy?
When water vapor loses energy, it undergoes a phase change from a gas to a liquid, a process known as condensation. This can happen when the temperature decreases or when the vapor comes into contact with a cooler surface.
Can you explain what the term condensation means?
Condensation is the process where a gas or vapor turns into a liquid state when it cools down. This typically happens when warm, moist air comes into contact with a colder surface, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into water droplets.
How is condensation created?
Condensation is created when warm air containing water vapor comes into contact with a cold surface, causing the water vapor to cool and turn back into liquid water. This process happens when the air is cooled below its dew point temperature, leading to the formation of water droplets on the surface.
Why does water vapor sometime turn into solid ice?
When it comes into contact with a frozen droplet, it forms a snowflake.
What is frozen water vapor on a surface called?
Frozen water vapor on a surface is called frost. It forms when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a surface that is below freezing temperature, causing it to freeze and form ice crystals.
What is fog caused by?
Fog is caused by the condensation of water vapor in the air when the air cools to the point where it can no longer hold all the moisture it contains. This typically happens when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface or when there is a sudden drop in temperature.
What is the process called when water vapor changes to tiny droplets?
The process is called condensation. This occurs when warm air saturated with water vapor comes into contact with a cooler surface, causing the vapor to lose energy and form tiny water droplets.
What is meant b condensation?
Condensation is the process of water vapor cooling and turning back into liquid water. This occurs when warm air comes into contact with a cool surface, causing the water vapor to condense into droplets.
Where does the water vapor in your breath comes from?
The water vapor in your breath comes from water contained in your body, particularly in your lungs and airways. As you exhale, this water is released into the air in the form of vapor.
Why do you think water vapor erupt from a volcano instead of liquid water?
A volcano vents water vapor instead of liquid water because that water has been in contact with very hot rocks, well above the boiling point of water. Some of the water vapor comes from the molten magma itself.
When you exhale onto a cold window pane water vapor in your breath condenses on the glass. Where does the water vapor come from?
The water vapor comes from your lungs, specifically from the moisture in the air you breathe out. When warm air from your breath comes into contact with the cold window pane, it cools rapidly, causing the moisture in it to condense into tiny water droplets on the glass.
