Vaporization is caused when a liquid is heated enough for it to start to turn into a gaseous state. Vaporization is the opposite of Condensation which is when a gas turns into a liquid when enough heat is removed.

When liquids get heat, the molecular attraction gets weaker.

So the molecular motion becomes more active and the gap between molecules gets bigger.

Evaporation is caused when the sun gives off energy to water and there is too much energy in the water that the molecules bump each other out of the group. Then the water molecules go into the air with oxygen and nitrogen molecules.

Water vapour (steam) is cause when liquid water is heated enough to give off steam - as from a kettle. Water vapour also forms the clouds we see in the sky, or the mist and fog that can obscure our view.

Water vapor forms when you heat water to the extent where it evaporates into steam( Gas) and turns into water vapor.

What causes a meteor to produce a large bright tail?

The friction with atmosphere causes heat and the meteor eventually burns out.


What occurs when Earth crosses the orbit of a meteoroid cluster?

A "meteor shower". (The individual space rocks pulverize or vaporize when they hit Earth's atmosphere.)


Is meteor day a day?

The Earth is hit by tens of thousands of meteors each day. Most do no damage at all, but do add several tons of dust to the air as they vaporize.


What is a meteor's temperature?

A "meteor" is when you see a "shooting star"; at that moment, the object is entering the Earth's atmosphere, and since it enters with a very high speed, its temperature, at least on the surface, gets hot enough to vaporize any material. Probably a few thousand degrees.


How does friction affect a meteor?

When a meteor enters the earth's atmosphere, friction with the air generates enormous amounts of heat, which causes the meteor to at least partially burn up.


What are some of the causes of craters?

Meteor impact, volcanism, bombs.

When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere it produces a streak of light called a?

The streak of light created by a meteoroid entering the Earth's atmosphere is called a meteor. A meteorite is the remains of a meteoroid that did not vaporize after entering the Earth's atmosphere.


What starts meteor showers?

The friction between dust on a meteoroid and the Earth's atmosphere causes the light to shine, which is a meteor. When lots of meteroids hit Earth at similar times, a significant amount of meteors show in Earth, causing a meteor shower.


What causes the streak of light observed when a meteoriod enters Earth's atmosphere?

The friction with the Earth's atmosphere causes a meteor to heat up and burn.


What causes the meteor to fall?

Gravity and the unfortunate state of being in its path as it travels around the sun
