It becomes condensation.
The water vapor turns into a liquid

When water vapor rises and cools, it reaches a temperature called the dew point. At this point, the water vapor condenses back into liquid water, forming clouds or fog. If the cooling continues, the condensed water droplets may grow and eventually fall as precipitation.
When water vapor cools and contracts, it undergoes the process of condensation, turning from a gaseous state to a liquid state. This is what forms clouds or fog.
Condensation occurs when water vapor, a gas, cools and transforms into liquid water droplets. This process commonly happens as warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to the formation of clouds or dew.
Because air is cooler at higher altitudes in the troposphere, water vapor cools as it rises high in the atmosphere and transforms into water droplets by a process called condensation. The water droplets that form make up clouds.
When water vapor rises and cools to the dew point, it reaches a temperature at which it can no longer hold all the moisture. This excess moisture then condenses into liquid water droplets, forming clouds or fog.
As the warm air rises and cools, the water vapor in it condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals, forming clouds. This process is known as condensation and is a key mechanism in cloud formation.
