Why does your breath show in the winter?

Water vapor in your breath condenses when it contacts cold air. (It looks like steam.)


What state of matter does not show at room temperature?

Between solids, liquids, and gases, gases tend not to be observed at room temperature. For example, think about water - there's ice, water, and water vapor. We can see ice and water at room temperature, but water vapor can really only be seen on cold days, when you can see the water vapor from your breath condensing on dust particles in the air.


Why is it difficult to include water vapor in a graph that show is the percent of various gases in the atmosphere?

Water vapor varies from location to location.


Are water vapor pens safe?

Studies show that vapor pens are safer than tobacco cigarettes, but it may take years and a lot more studies to show how safe or unsafe they actually are.


Gas that sHow is the most variation from place to place and from time to time in the lower atmosphere?

Water vapor


What percentage of each gas is in the air?

When you inhale air the concentration is abut 21% of oxygen but in your lungs some of it gets consumed and replaced by carbon dioxide the concentration of exhaled oxygen depends on your metabolism and oxygen consumption.


How do you show that water vapor is surrounding the air using foil and ice?

If you wanted to demonstrate the presence of water vapor in the air, wrapping an ice cube in foil would allow water to condense out of the air and onto the foil, due to the lower temperature of the foil compared to the air.

Why does water in the rivers not evaporate at 100 C?

I will be astonished if you show me a river at 100 degrees Celsius in which the water is not actually boiling, let alone evaporating. Perhaps you mean: why does water in rivers evaporate at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. To which the answer is: water has a finite vapor pressure at every temperature; if that vapor pressure exceeds the partial pressure of water vapor in the atmosphere above the water, some of the water will evaporate until the partial pressure is equal to the vapor pressure. Even ice evaporates. Make some ice and leave it in your freezer for a long time. The ice cubes will shrink.


What evidence show that mars may once have had liquid water?

Mars' atmosphere contains trace amounts of water vapor, and it has polar ice caps that contain frozen H2O.


What vapor?

Vapor doesn't really have a meaning if you look it up on the internet it will show you all the other types of vapor there is . Vapor is a substances in the gas form that can be condensed to a liquid by increasing its pressure without reducing the temperature.
