Trickling — Condensation & Clouds Condensation Canopy
Hi!
I'm Trickling.
Welcome to Condensation Canopy!
Will you help me investigate condensation & clouds?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
Condensation changes water vapor into liquid droplets when conditions allow,
often as air cools.
What process forms droplets from vapor?
- A. Weathering
- B. Condensation
- C. Evaporation
The answer is B: Condensation
Condensation changes water vapor into liquid droplets when conditions allow,
often as air cools.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
Clouds contain droplets, ice crystals or both.
Droplets on the outside of a cold container can come
from water vapor in surrounding air.
What can a cloud contain?
- A. Liquid droplets and ice
- B. Only invisible gas
- C. Only dust grains
The answer is A: Liquid droplets and ice
Clouds contain droplets, ice crystals or both.
Droplets on the outside of a cold container can come
from water vapor in surrounding air.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?
Our model begins with moist air touching a cold surface.
Vapor becomes droplets there;
the container does not need to leak to explain them.
Where can outside-container droplets come from?
- A. Only liquid leaking through solid glass
- B. Only glass turning into a liquid
- C. Water vapor in the surrounding air
The answer is C: Water vapor in the surrounding air
Clouds contain droplets, ice crystals or both.
Droplets on the outside of a cold container can come
from water vapor in surrounding air.
