Water Vapor Water Vapor (Water Vapor)
• Water Vapor is the invisible, gaseous form of water.

Water Vapor Water Vapor (Water Vapor)
• Make sure you understand that fog and clouds are NOT water vapor, they are made of tiny droplets of condensed water. WATER VAPOR IS INVISIBLE

Evaporation• The process by which
molecules at the surface of a liquid, such as water, absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state, such as water vapor.
