Moisture in saturated air will begin to condense out as the temperature falls. This moisture will change (physical) state from vapor to liquid, and will precipitate out as rain. If the temperature is cold enough, the water vapor will form ice crystals, having changed state to a solid, and it will snow. There are variations on the theme as there are different types of precipitation, but the basic physics remains the same.

Forms when water vapor changes into solid?

Condensation is the form in which water vapor changes into liquid. If water vapor in the atmosphere cools enough, it changes back into liquid. This process of water vapor changing to a liquid is called Condensation.


What is water vapor becoming liquid water as it cools?

Condensing happens when water vapor cools and becomes liquid water.


What happens when the water vapor rises and cools?

It condenses into liquid.

Describe what happens when water vapor rises and cools to the dew point?

As water vapor cools to the dew point it converts from a gas back to a liquid.


What happen to the water vapor when it cools?

when water vapor cools a process called condensation occurs. It happens on a cold surface where the water vapor cools and condenses to form water on the cold surface. A common example of this is breathing onto a window and it fogs up.


What forms when water vapor changes into a liquid?

Water forms by the condensation of water vapor.


What is when water vapor cools changes to droplets forms clouds?

Condensation


What happened when warm air that is filled with water vapor cooled off?

When warm air filled with water vapor cools off, the water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. This condensation forms clouds and, if the cooling continues, precipitation such as rain, snow, or hail may occur.


What occurs when water vapor cools and changes back into liquid droplets?

rain
