. Indicate the process that is responsible for the following aspects of the Earth: a. Day and Night (24 hours): We get day and night because the Earth spins (or rotates) on an imaginary line called its axis and different parts of the planet are facing towards the Sun or away from it. It takes 24 hours for the world to turn all the way around, and we call this a day b. A Year (365 days): A year is the amount of time it takes a planet to orbit its star one time. c. Change in the direction of ...

Clouds, fog, and dew - must have a surface (solid or liquid) upon which the water vapor can condence. Dew - the condensation event (water vapor changing to liquid water) wherein liquid water droplets form on the ground. Cloud & fog - condensation events where in the droplets form suspended in air. Clouds - formed by cooling the air temperature to the Dew Point temperature or by adding more water vapor to reach saturation. Cooling the air is common way. Condensation nuclei - microscopic...
