− | Water vapour is [[water]] in its gaseous [[phase of matter|phase]]. It is abundant on [[Earth]], playing a vital part in the [[water cycle]], where the liquid water from the surface [[evaporation|evaporates]] into vapour, reaches the [[atmosphere]] and [[condensation|condenses]] back to liquid water in the clouds, and [[precipitation|precipitates]] on the surface as [[rain]], [[hail]] or [[snow]]. It is also found in trace amounts in other [[planet]]s as well, including their [[natural satellite]]s. Water vapour is also observed on several [[asteroid]]s and [[comet]]s. Water vapour is an effective [[greenhouse gas]] that absorbs and traps the [[infrared]] radiation in the atmosphere | + | Water vapour is [[water]] in its gaseous [[phase of matter|phase]].
