By the way, condensation is the opposite of evaporation. In condensation, water vapor in gaseous form is converted back into liquid water. Water vapor evaporated into the atmosphere is collected together to form clouds in the atmosphere. Clouds are the important component in the condensation process of the hydrological cycle because the precipitation that occurs after the formation of clouds in the atmosphere. The low temperature of the atmosphere slows the movement of water molecules, thus reducing the energy needed to hold water molecules together in liquid form, possibly water present as a droplet (Nebel & Wright,
