Water undergoes a change of state from gas to liquid under these conditions, because cooler air can hold less water vapour than warmer air.

Not exact matches

As the CO2 and CH4 (methane) level goes up, H2O vapour in the atmosphere falls which — because H2O is 30 times more important than CO2 as a «greenhouse gas» offsets the effect of CO2 on temperature, while cloud cover and albedo increases because warmed moist air rises to form clouds, further cooling the world.

Air containing water in vapour form will rise higher than dry air because it is lighter so when the vapour is removed it must fall back to its «correct» height but because of the air around it becoming warmer as it descends it will remain too dense for its height until it reaches the ground and receives more energy from the irradiated surfaAir containing water in vapour form will rise higher than dry air because it is lighter so when the vapour is removed it must fall back to its «correct» height but because of the air around it becoming warmer as it descends it will remain too dense for its height until it reaches the ground and receives more energy from the irradiated surfaair because it is lighter so when the vapour is removed it must fall back to its «correct» height but because of the air around it becoming warmer as it descends it will remain too dense for its height until it reaches the ground and receives more energy from the irradiated surfaair around it becoming warmer as it descends it will remain too dense for its height until it reaches the ground and receives more energy from the irradiated surface.

This paper actually proposes that the sensible heat released by condensation warms the dryer air to a point where it becomes even lighter than air containing water in vapour form.
