What happens to the vapor in the air when it gets cold?

When the vapor in the air gets cold, it condenses into liquid water droplets. This process is called condensation. This is why you see fog, clouds, or dew forming when the temperature drops and the vapor in the air loses heat energy.


What are the three ways water gets into the air?

Water gets into the air through evaporation, transpiration from plants, and sublimation. Evaporation is the process where water on the surface turns into water vapor. Transpiration is when plants release water vapor through their leaves. Sublimation is when ice or snow changes directly into water vapor without melting first.


What are the steps of condensation?

Evaporation happens when heat(the sun) hits water, and it turns into a gas. Which is also called "water vapor." Then when a whole amount of the gas comes together, it becomes a cloud. Then once the cloud becomes full(after a long period of time)it falls into a liquid. Which is called precipitation.


What increases airs ability to hold water vapor?

Heat. Hot air holds more vapor than cold air. This is why we get rain when hot air rises, cools down, and the water vapor condenses out to form rain drops. It's also why we get clouds, the vapor condenses when the air gets cold at altitude but not enough to form droplets and fall from the sky.


Why there is snow?

Snow occurs when the water in the clouds gets very cold during precipitation. The water does not get that cold though because otherwise it would turn to ice so there is still some moisture in it.

When water vapor gets cold it turns to a?

When water vapor gets cold, it turns into liquid water through a process called condensation. This occurs when the air temperature drops, causing the water vapor to lose energy and transition from a gaseous state to a liquid state. This process is commonly observed as dew forming on grass or droplets on a cold glass.


What happens to the vapor in the air when it get cold?

I think as it gets cooler it can hold less water vapor....

How is a comet different from a asteroid?

An asteroid is hunks of rock or metal a comet is ice and as it gets closer to the sun it turns to water vapor as it gets further it turns back to ice.

What it is called when a puddle gets smaller?

Evaporation is the process by which a puddle gets smaller as the water heats up and turns into vapor, escaping into the atmosphere.


What is the process called when water vapor gets cold and changes into rain?

Condensation. And before this: water turns into water vapor-evaporation After condensation: clouds holding the water lets go-precipitaion= snow, sleet, hail, and rain. After precipitation: Run-off=water goes back to its original place (or other places).


What the element of fresh water in clouds?

Well, when water gets to the clouds in The Water Cycle, it's called condensation. All of the water that was water vapor turns back into liquids!


What does water change into?

Water turns to a solid, when water gets to 0 degrees Celsius because the water molecules are to cold to move around.


What does freezing change into?

Water turns to a solid, when water gets to 0 degrees Celsius because the water molecules are to cold to move around.

How dos it rain?

Rain is from the water cycle. The water cycle is a process of making it rain. When water gets evaporated, it turns into water vapor. Condensation takes over and makes the vapor into water again. After the water is too heavy for the clouds to hold onto, it lets go and that is how it rains.
