11 Facts About Water vapour
2.
Water vapour vapor is a relatively common atmospheric constituent, present even in the solar atmosphere as well as every planet in the Solar System and many astronomical objects including natural satellites, comets and even large asteroids.

3.
Water vapour vapor is a by-product of respiration in plants and animals.
| FactSnippet No. 1,301,828 |
4.
Water vapour vapor has lower density than that of air and is therefore buoyant in air but has lower vapor pressure than that of air.
| FactSnippet No. 1,301,829 |
5.
Water vapour vapor is an important greenhouse gas owing to the presence of the hydroxyl bond which strongly absorbs in the infra-red.
| FactSnippet No. 1,301,830 |
6.
Water vapour vapor is the "working medium" of the atmospheric thermodynamic engine which transforms heat energy from sun irradiation into mechanical energy in the form of winds.
