Can latent heat be zero?

No, latent heat can never be zero.Because latent heat is the hidden heat so there has to be heat more than zero.


Heat that causes a substance to change form is called?

latent heat :)


Why is latent heat important to the atmosphere?

Latent heat is an important form of atmospheric energy. Latent heat is a property of water vapor in the atmosphere and when water vapor condenses it releases latent heat. Latent heat must be supplied to evaporate liquid water and this heat affects the behavior of the weather.


Why is latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion?

latent heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point where latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of solid to liquid at its melting point so that is why latent heat of vapourisation higher than latent heat of fusion.

The form of energy related to the change of the state of water?

The energy which must be transferred to or from a sample of water in order to change it's state is called the Latent Energy or Latent Heat - for example Latent Heat of Evaporation or Latent Heat of Freezing.
