Water vapor is totally invisible. If you see a cloud, fog, or mist, these are all liquid water, not water vapor.
Water vapor is extremely important to the weather and climate. Without it, there would be no clouds or rain or snow, since all of these require water vapor in order to form. All of the water vapor that evaporates from the surface of the Earth eventually returns as precipitation - rain or snow.
When liquid water is evaporated to form water vapor, heat is absorbed. This helps to cool the surface of the Earth. This "latent heat of condensation" is released again when the water vapor condenses to form cloud water. This source of heat helps drive the updrafts in clouds and precipitation systems, which then causes even more water vapor to condense into cloud, and more cloud water and ice to form precipitation.
What else can I help you with?
Is condensation af water vapor into rain exothermic?
Yes, condensation of water vapor into rain is an exothermic process. When water vapor cools and condenses into liquid water, heat is released to the surroundings. This is why you sometimes see condensation forming on cold surfaces like a glass of cold water.
Where does the energy from water vapor go?
The energy from water vapor can be released through condensation, where the vapor turns into liquid water and releases heat. This process can contribute to cloud formation, rain, or snow, helping to maintain Earth's water cycle.
What must happen before water vapor falls from clouds as rain?
Before water vapor falls from clouds as rain, it must first condense into water droplets. This condensation occurs when the water vapor in the air cools and reaches its dew point, at which point it forms visible clouds. Once the water droplets in the clouds combine and grow large enough, they fall to the ground as precipitation in the form of rain.
What happens when a cloud holding water vapor suddenly cools?
When a cloud holding water vapor suddenly cools, the water vapor condenses into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. This process forms precipitation, such as rain or snow, which falls to the ground.
What happens with water vapor when its cooled?
when water vapour is cooled it condenses and falls as rain
How does water vapor become rain?
The water vapor goes into the cloud and the cloud fills up with water then it lets out the rain witch becomes rain.
Where does water vapor exit?
in rain
What is water vapor changing into rain called?
Water vapor changing into rain is called condensation. This is when the water vapor in the atmosphere cools down and transforms into liquid water droplets, which then combine to form raindrops.
How clouds become rain?
they become rain when it crates water vapor
Is rain water mixture or compound?
Mixture
How is vapor water different from liquid water?
Water vapor is different from liquid water because water vapor is a gas, and liquid water is a liquid.
Is rain a condensation?
No, rain is not condensation. Rain forms when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into water droplets that become heavy enough to fall to the ground. Condensation is the process by which water vapor turns into liquid water or ice.
Is humidity in air caused by rain or water vapor?
Humidity is caused by water vapor in the air, but rain contributes to the amount of vapor in the air, so I suppose you could say they both do, but it's the water vapor that truly creates humidity.
What is the transformation from water vapor turns to rain?
The transformation from water vapor to rain is called condensation. This occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere cools and changes back into liquid form, forming clouds. When the water droplets in the clouds become too heavy to remain suspended, they fall to the ground as rain.
How Snow and sleet are different?
If the water vapor freezes , it falls as snow.If the rain freezes on the way down it falls as sleet.
What is evaporated rain called?
The reverse process is condensation, formation of a liquid.
What is the importance of water in water cycle?
it is important to make rain or water vapor
