What do you call it when water vapor turns into water droplets and clouds?
This process is called condensation. Water vapor in the air cools and changes back into liquid water droplets, forming clouds.
What do you call water vapor that has condense into small water droplets near the ground?
Fog is the term used to describe water vapor that has condensed into small water droplets near the ground, reducing visibility.
What are water droplets held together by?
Water droplets are held together by surface tension, which is caused by the cohesive forces between water molecules. This surface tension allows water droplets to form spherical shapes and stick together, forming larger droplets or puddles.
What do you call large bodies of frozen water?
Large bodies of frozen water are typically called glaciers or ice sheets.
How do you form rain?
The clouds floating overhead contain water vapor and cloud droplets, which are small drops of condensed water. These droplets are way too small to fall as precipitation, but they are large enough to form visible clouds. Water is continually evaporating andcondensing in the sky. If you look closely at a cloud you can see some parts disappearing (evaporating) while other parts are growing (condensation). Most of the condensed water in clouds does not fall as precipitation because their fall speed is not large enough to overcome updrafts which support the clouds. For precipitation to happen, first tiny water droplets must condense on even tinier dust, salt, or smoke particles, which act as a nucleus. Water droplets may grow as a result of additional condensation of water vapor when the particles collide. If enough collisions occur to produce a droplet with a fall velocity which exceeds the cloud updraft speed, then it will fall out of the cloud as precipitation. This is not a trivial task since millions of cloud droplets are required to produce a single raindrop. A more efficient mechanism (known as the Bergeron-Findeisen process) for producing a precipitation-sized drop is through a process which leads to the rapid growth of ice crystals at the expense of the water vapor present in a cloud. These crystals may fall as snow, or melt and fall as rain.
What do you call the water droplets suspended in air?
A cloud.
How does the clouds make water?
Simple answer: They don't. Clouds ARE water - tiny, tiny droplets of water just like fog. If colder air moves into a cloud, it causes there to be even more water droplets forming. When the droplets get close enough together, they start touching and turning themselves into even larger droplets. Then the "even larger" water droplets touch, and make water drops . . . at some point in this process, the water droplets grow large enough that they are too heavy to stay where they are, and then they fall to the ground. This falling to the ground is what we call, "Rain".
What do you call droplets of water in the air?
Droplets of water in the air are called mist or fog, depending on their size and density. Mist generally consists of fine droplets, while fog is denser and reduces visibility.
What do you call a plastic tube that takes in water and you squeeze out little droplets?
A syringe.
What do you call it when water vapor turns into water droplets and clouds?
This process is called condensation. Water vapor in the air cools and changes back into liquid water droplets, forming clouds.
What is the passage of water through call membranes?
simple answer osmosis defined as the diffusion of water from a area of high concentration to a area of low concentration.
What do you call water vapor that has condense into small water droplets near the ground?
Fog is the term used to describe water vapor that has condensed into small water droplets near the ground, reducing visibility.
What is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called what?
the process is call OSMOSIS.
What is the process called when water turns to water droplets?
This is one of many parts of the water cycle. water needs to condense (turn into a cloud) Then it will precipitate (a fancy word for rain ect.) or as you call them ,water droplets. By the way if you are not in the fifth grade (below it ) do not worry it is simple fifth grade science
What are the water droplets outside of a glass is?
The water droplets outside of a glass are formed due to condensation. When warm, moist air comes into contact with the cool surface of the glass, the air is cooled down, causing the moisture in the air to condense and form droplets on the outside of the glass.
What large bodies of water call?
Oceans
What is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration called?
Osmosis
