Why isn't water vapor that comes off the ocean salty?

When water evaporates, only the water molecules are lifted into the atmosphere, leaving behind salt and other impurities. As the water vapor cools and condenses to form clouds, it undergoes a purification process that removes the salts, resulting in fresh water precipitation.

Adding salt to water decreases the vapor pressure of the water. This is because the salt particles disrupt the formation of water vapor molecules at the surface of the water, making it harder for them to escape into the air.

Does it rain salt water over the ocean?

No. Only PURE WATER evaporates from the ocean. It evaporates, rises into the atmosphere, and eventually cools down, condenses, and falls as rain. It may have some chemicals other than water in it, but they were picked up from the atmosphere. So, in a nutshell, only water rises from the ocean to make clouds/rain. The salt is left behind.
