Question

Differentiate between precipitation and condensation

Answer 1

Condensation

Condensation is the process by which water vapor is changed back into liquid water. Condensation is very important to our weather and climate because it is what is responsible for cloud formation.
Without clouds, we would not get to the third phase, called precipitation, which we will talk about in a minute. Clouds form when water vapor condenses around small particles, like bits of dust or smoke in the air. Depending on the size of the drops, these particles may or may not be visible. Even on a clear, cloudless day, water vapor is always present in the atmosphere, but it does vary in amounts. We know it is present on a very humid day; it often feels like we need to swim through the air! Fog is condensation near the ground.

Precipitation

Precipitation is any form of liquid or solid water particles that fall from the atmosphere and reach the surface of the Earth. For the Gulf Coast area, precipitation includes drizzle, rain, hail, and on rare occasions, snow and sleet. Different seasons and geographic locations see varying amounts of precipitation in amount and intensity.  Precipitation is caused when a mass of warm, moist air hits a mass of cold air.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Precipitation is defined as a process in which a solid or liquid water particle from the atmosphere falls on the surface of Earth.

When a mass of hot and moist air hits a mass of cold air then there occurs formation of a precipitate.

Basically, a precipitate is an insoluble solid.

• On the other hand, condensation is a process in which vapor state of water of a substance changes into liquid state.

For example, water vapors present in clouds reaches towards the earth in the form of rain water.
