Question

Solar energy causes water to evaporate into the atmosphere. How does that water vapor become a cloud? A) As the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets cooler. The cooler air causes the water vapor to condense. B) As the water vapor goes higher in the sky, solar energy causes it to condense around particles of dust. Eliminate C) As the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets warmer and the water vapor begins to condense. D) As the water vapor goes high into the atmosphere it turns to ice and that's what forms clouds.

Answer 1

The Sun's heat also causes liquid water to evaporate. Evaporation creates water vapor, a gas that rises into the air. ... When water vapor in the atmosphere cools down, it will condense and change back into liquid water, forming clouds. Without the Sun's heat, there would be no water cycle.
