Hi😊
↑this is EVAPORATION
I’m tomonitanimo ! And welcome to my page!
It’s already summer!!! Too hot outside and I eventually set my air conditioner 20℃🤷♂️🤷♂️
By the way, I am a tutor and I’m teaching a junior high school student. Now I’m teaching why clouds are formed. It is really interesting, so I’ll write about it!🌧🌦🌨🌥⛅️☁️
To understand how clouds are formed, you have some key points🌩
Evaporation of water, Volume of Saturated water vapor, Condensation
Are they look difficult??🌧
No it’s easy🌤
1. Evaporation
Imagine that you hang up a wet towel outside.
It’s so wet but couple of hours later, if it’s sunny, the towel is dry.
Why the towel become dry????
The answer is evaporation. The liquid water in the towel turns into an invisible gas called water vapor and drifted away into the atmosphere.
The same thing I happening with lakes, oceans, and anywhere water is in contact with atmosphere. However, water doesn’t evaporate without energy sources like the Sun 🌞 Heat of the sun gives water molecules energy, and these energetic molecules go away from liquid water in the form of gas.

2. Volume of saturated water vapor
Do you know the volume of saturated water? If you think this is an difficult concept, it’s not! It’s easy ⛅️⛅️
This consent is similar to a trash can in your house. Imagine that you throw away tissue in the trash can. Can you throw away tissues eternally?
The answer is No. The trash can have it’s own capacity, and when the amount of tissues exceeds the capacity of the trash can, the trash overflows from the can.
Similarly, the air can only hold a certain amount of water vapor, depending on the temperature of the air and atmospheric pressure in the area. The higher the temperature and pressure, the more water vapor the air can hold. When the air is holding all the water vapor it can hold, this air is called “saturated “.When the air has too much water vapor and it exceeds the volume of saturated water vapor, the surplus water vapor becomes liquid or solid.
3.Condensation
As explained in the above, the surplus water vapor turns into liquid, and this phenomenon is called condensation. When a saturated volume of air cools or atmospheric pressure drops, the air is no longer able to hold water vapor, and the water vapor turns into liquid or solid.
Condensation happens with the help of tiny particles in the air like dusts. Those particles provides surfaces on which water vapor can change into liquid droplets or ice crystals.
Those particles are called cloud condensation nuclei.
And, a large accumulation of such droplets is a cloud!☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
This is an easy explanation of how clouds are formed!
I think it’s too easy, but for my first writing, this topic was appropriate.
I’ll write about my interesting things more!
Thank you for reading!!!⛅️⛅️
