heat energy that is absorbed or released during a phase change | latent heat |
the mass of water vapor contained in a given volume of air | absolute humidity |
the process by which a solid changes directly into a gas | sublimation |
a mass of water vapor that condenses near the surface of Earth | fog |
any form of water that falls to Earth’s surface from clouds | precipitation |
