Front

How do clouds form?

Back

Clouds form when water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets in the atmosphere.

Front

What happens to water vapor in cooler temperatures?

Back

In cooler temperatures, water vapor condenses into liquid water.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and condensation?

Back

As temperature decreases, the ability of air to hold water vapor decreases, leading to condensation.

Front

What is an example of condensation in everyday life?

Back

An example of condensation is when glasses fog up in a warm room.

Front

What role does temperature play in the atmosphere regarding condensation?

Back

In the atmosphere, cooler temperatures lead to the condensation of water vapor, forming clouds.
