  2. Water vapor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor

    Water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Water vapor is transparent, like most constituents of the atmosphere. [1]

  3. Phases of ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases_of_ice

    Even if it is cold enough to form amorphous ice, crystalline ice will form if the flux of water vapor onto the substrate is less than a temperature-dependent critical flux. [168] This effect is important to consider in astrophysical environments where the water flux can be low.

  4. Ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice

    As snowflakes and hail, ice is a common form of precipitation, and it may also be deposited directly by water vapor as frost. The transition from ice to water is melting and from ice directly to water vapor is sublimation. These processes plays a key role in Earth's water cycle and climate.

  5. What are hoarfrost and rime? - AOL

    www.aol.com/weather/hoarfrost-rime-163012451.html

    Rime forms when tiny, near-freezing water droplets, usually from thick fog and clouds, attach to the surface of a below-freezing object and turn into ice immediately on contact.

  6. Water cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cycle

    The water cycle is powered from the energy emitted by the sun. This energy heats water in the ocean and seas. Water evaporates as water vapor into the air. Some ice and snow sublimates directly into water vapor. Evapotranspiration is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil. The water molecule H

  7. Frost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost

    When the atmosphere contains more water than it can hold at a specific temperature, its relative humidity rises above 100% becoming supersaturated, and the excess water vapor is forced to deposit onto any nearby surface, forming seed crystals. The temperature at which frost will form is called the dew point, and depends on the humidity of the ...

  8. From blowing frozen bubbles to throwing boiling water: The ...

    "First, the hot water is making water vapor through evaporation. Second, the water breaks into smaller globs of water as it passes through the air. Both the evaporation and the smaller blobs mean ...

  9. Triple point of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_point

    Below this, in the vacuum of outer space, solid ice sublimates, transitioning directly into water vapor when heated at a constant pressure. Conversely, above the triple point, solid ice first melts into liquid water upon heating at a constant pressure, then evaporates or boils to form vapor at a higher temperature.
