  • Understanding Condensation: How Water Vapor Turns into Liquid
    Water changing from gas to liquid is called condensation.

    Here's how it works:

    * Water vapor (gas) in the air cools down.

    * As it cools, the water molecules slow down and lose energy.

    * This causes the molecules to get closer together and change from a gaseous state to a liquid state.

    You see condensation all the time:

    * Dew forming on grass in the morning.

    * Fog forming on a cold day.

    * Clouds forming in the sky.

    * Water droplets forming on a cold glass of water.
