| Dew point | Atmospheric temperature below were water droplets can start to condense and then dew can start to form. |
| Relative humidity | How much water vapor is in the air is expressed as a percentage of how much is needed for saturation at the same temperature. |
| Condensation nuclei | Cloud droplet were water vapour condenses. |
| Adiabatic cooling | A process that reduces heat through a change of air presssure and this is caused by a volume expansion. |
| Advective cooling | transfer of a property of the atmosphere like heat, cold, or humidity. |
| Coalescence | when two elements come together and they becom one. |
