* Phase Change: The process of a gas changing to a liquid is called condensation.
* Energy Release: For a gas to condense, it needs to release energy. This energy is often in the form of heat.
* Temperature Drop: As the gas releases heat, the surrounding environment or the gas itself cools down, resulting in a lower temperature.
Think of it like this: When water vapor in the air condenses on a cold surface, the surface feels colder because the vapor released heat as it turned into liquid water.
