In the atmosphere water vapor condenses to form clouds.
a. true
b. false

This statement is  that says water vapor condenses to form clouds.

Further Explanation:

The phase change is defined as the change from one state to another state without altering its chemical composition. It is also known as a phase transition, state change or physical change. The two phase changes that occur during the formation of clouds are condensation and evaporation/vaporization.

Condensation: It is the phase transition that results in the conversion of vapor-state to the liquid-state.

Evaporation: It is the phase transition that converts the liquid into vapors. This process is also known as the boiling of liquid. In order to change the liquid state to the vapor state, the temperature is to be increased or heating is done.

Cloud formation:

Due to the heating of the surfaces, air becomes warm and it rises. The temperature in the upper atmosphere is less so air becomes cool. The relative humidity of air rises. At a point, it becomes saturated. This heated surface results in the evaporation of water to form water vapors. As these are lighter than air, they rise up and reach the upper part of the atmosphere. The temperature in the upper region of the atmosphere is very less and therefore large number of tiny droplets of water vapors condense to form clouds. So the given statement is true.

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
