What happens to water vapor in the air when it cools down?

• It condenses and can form clouds.

• It evaporates more quickly.

• It becomes less humid.

Why do we see clouds in the sky?

• Because they are made of dry ice.

• Because they are made of dust particles.

• Because they are made of water droplets or ice crystals that reflect or scatter light.

• Because they are made of pure oxygen.

What is necessary for the condensation or deposition process to start in the air?

• 50% humidity and warm temperatures.

• 100% humidity and the presence of condensation nuclei.

• Dry air and cold temperatures.

• Low pressure and high altitude.

• gas
• evaporation
• solid
• condensation
• potential
• sublimation
• liquid

Water molecules are ​ (a)   to each other. When they are moving ​ (b)   enough, they can break away from each other and bounce off each other. When they are moving ​ (c)   enough, they clump and ​ (d)   together.

• attracted
• fast
• slow
• stick

Water droplets can ​ (a)   over time as they run into other water droplets or as more molecules of water vapor ​ (b)   and stick to them.

• grow
• condense
• shrink
• evaporate

When water is below a certain temperature (its condensation/boiling point), the molecules are moving ​ (a)   enough to remain in ​ (b)   form; when water is above that temperature, the molecules are moving fast enough to remain in ​ (c)   form; they change state when cooled below or heated above that temperature.

• slow
• liquid
• gas
• solid
• fast
