How does water vapor get cooled in the atmosphere?
3. Air can also be pushed upward when cooler air and warmer air meet. When the two meet, they don’t mix. The lighter, warm air is pushed up over the heavier, cold air. The result is that the warm air is pushed up higher into the atmosphere, where it cools… The closer to the atmosphere it is, it gets cooler, because, there is more air pressure the higher you go, so it is colder when you are near the atmosphere or you’re climbing a mountain and you keep going higher or somthing… So at sea level, where all life exists, it is much warmer than it is in the atmosphere!
