2 O has smaller molecular mass than the major components of the atmosphere, nitrogen (N 2) and oxygen (O 2) and hence is less dense. Due to the significant difference in density, buoyancy drives humid air higher. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases and the temperature drops (see Gas laws). The lower temperature causes water vapor to ...
