When you see steam fog or clouds you are seeing water in which state?

When you see steam fog or clouds, you are seeing water in its gaseous state. Steam fog occurs when cold air comes into contact with warm water vapor, causing condensation to form into fog. Clouds are also formed by the condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere.


Are white clouds seen above boiling water are steam true?

The white clouds seen above boiling water are indeed steam. This is caused by the water vapor rising from the boiling water and condensing in the cooler air above to form visible droplets of water vapor.


Is steam a solid liquid or gas?

Steam is the gaseous state of water, formed when water is heated to its boiling point and vaporizes.


What does liquid water become when it absorbs enough heat?

Liquid water becomes water vapor, which is the gaseous state of water, when it absorbs enough heat and evaporates.


What is the only substance that is found in all three states in the atmosphere?

Water exists in all three states (gas, liquid, solid) in our atmosphere. The gaseous state is pretty well recognized just as the humidity in the air. Water, as individual H2O molecules, is dissolved in the air and so one of the component gasses of air along with oxygen, nitrogen and others. There are typically a few grams of water per cubic meter of air all over the world. Liquid water is also known in several forms in the air. When one sees a mist, one is seeing tiny droplets of liquid water. Fog is the same. Steam is the same. Obviously, rain is an example of liquid water even the though we don't think of it as being there for very long. In fact, some of the lower clouds we see in the sky contain liquid water drops that are so small they are not falling as rain. But, the subject of clouds brings us to the solid state of water in the air. As we know, snow is solid water and certainly comes to us through the atmosphere. Many people think that snow is water that has frozen on its trip down from the clouds. While that is possible, what is most common is that the clouds we see high in the atmosphere contain ice crystals. Temperature drops pretty rapidly as we go up in altitude and it does not take much height before water vapor condenses out and then turns into tiny ice crystals that appears to us as clouds. The ice and liquid water in clouds is described nicely on Wikipedia.

When you see steam fog or clouds you are seeing water in the liquid state.?

true


When you see steam fog or clouds you are seeing water in the liquid state true or false?

False. Steam fog or clouds are made of water vapor in the gas state condensed into tiny droplets, not in the liquid state.

it is gas

What kind of state you see When you see steam fog or clouds you see water in the?

When you see steam fog or clouds, you are seeing water in its gaseous state, known as water vapor. This occurs when water evaporates from a liquid form and condenses in the atmosphere to form visible clouds or fog.

true


2 examples of liquid changing to gas?

Boiling water: When water is heated, it changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state, forming steam. Evaporation of alcohol: When rubbing alcohol is exposed to air, it evaporates and changes into a gas.


What is steam called when it is a liquid?

When steam is a liquid or goes into a liquid state via condensation, then it is no longer deemed as gas or steam. Thus it is called liquid.


What is the difference between clouds and steam?

Steam is made when water changes it's physical state from liquid to gas from heat. Clouds are formed when millions of water and dust particles gather together. Also, clouds don't form over boiling pots of water


Is steam in the liquid state?

Steam doesn't cool off liquids because it is the release of thermal energy from the water, and that is why, it is therefore hot. If the steam is coming off the liquid itself, it is heat being released by the liquid, but the liquid is not necessarily getting cooler. Think of water boiling on a stove. There may be plenty of steam coming off the water, but the water continues to boil. Subjecting a cool liquid to steam will certainly not cool the liquid.


What kind of water is a steam?

Steam is water in the vapour (gaseous) state; Ice is water in the solid state; liquid water is water in its liquid state - but the water's composition is the same in all three states.


Are white clouds seen above boiling water are steam true?

The white clouds seen above boiling water are indeed steam. This is caused by the water vapor rising from the boiling water and condensing in the cooler air above to form visible droplets of water vapor.
