condensation.. 1.the act of condensing; the state of being condensed. 2. the result of being made more compact or dense. 3. reduction of a book, speech, statement, or the like, to a shorter or terser form; abridgment. 4. a condensed form: Did you read the whole book or just a condensation? 5. a condensed mass. 6. (in nontechnical usage) condensate. 7. the act or process of reducing a gas or vapor to a liquid or solid form. 8. Chemistry. a reaction between two or more organic molecules leading to the formation of a larger molecule and the elimination of a simple molecule such as water or alcohol. 9. Meteorology. the process by which atmospheric water vapor liquefies to form fog, clouds, or the like, or solidifies to form snow or hail. 10. Psychoanalysis. the representation of two or more ideas, memories, feelings, or impulses by one word or image, as in a person's humor, accidental slips, or dreams. 11. Physics. the relative amount by which the density of an elastic medium varies from its average value as a sound wave passes through it.

Is condensation the opposite of evaporation?

Yes, because condensation is the change in state from a gas to a liquid, and evaporation (a type of vaporization) is the change from a liquid to a gas.


Is condensation the opposite of vaporation?

Yes, it is..........I just wanted to give you a better answer than the last person who put jahNo, that's condensation. Condentation means alike, or associated with.no it is the opposite of evaporatoin


What is a physical process by which vapor becomes liquid or solid the opposite of evaporation?

Condensation is the process by which vapor turns into liquid or solid, the opposite of evaporation. This occurs when the temperature of the vapor decreases, causing the molecules to slow down and come closer together, forming a liquid or solid state.


Can evaporation occur while its raining?

It is unlikely for evaporation to occur during rain because rain is typically associated with condensation. Evaporation takes place when liquid water turns into vapor due to heat energy from the sun. During rain, water is falling back to the surface in the form of precipitation, which is the opposite of evaporation.


How is evaporation the opposite of condensation?

Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas, while condensation is the process of a gas turning into a liquid. In evaporation, heat energy is absorbed, causing molecules to escape from the liquid's surface. In condensation, heat energy is released, causing gas molecules to come together and form a liquid.
