What is Evaporation? Only occurs when warm water is around and water eneters the atmosphere as water vapor.
What is Transipiration? Sun takes the water off the plant and water enters the atmosphere as water vapor.

How does Dew form? When water vapor condenses directly onto a surface.
How does Frost form? When water vapor changes from gas directly to ice crystals on a surface when the temperature at which condensing would take place is at the freezing point or below.
What is a Cirrus cloud? Made of ice crystals and formed at high elevations, wispy clouds usually consist of ice crystals that signal rain weather.
