Vapour for Dummies

Hey there! So, have you ever seen water in the form of steam? You know, when you take a super hot shower and the bathroom gets all steamy? Well, that steam is actually water vapor, or in simpler terms, it's vaporized water. And this vapor or steam that you see is what we call "vapour."

But wait, there's more! Vapour can also refer to gases or substances that are in a gaseous state, but not necessarily related to water. For example, when you boil a pot of water, you might see some vapour rising from it. This vapour is actually made up of tiny particles of water that have turned into gas due to the heat.

Sometimes, we also use the word "vapour" to describe a mist or fog-like cloud that's formed when a substance becomes gas or when humid air cools down. You might have seen this happening when you breathe out on a cold day, and you see your breath appearing as a cloudy mist in the air. That mist is also vapour!

So, to sum it all up, vapour is essentially a word that describes either water in its gaseous form, or gases and substances that have turned into gas. It's like seeing steam rise from hot water, a foggy mist in the air, or even your breath on a chilly day. Cool, right?

I hope this explanation helped you understand what "vapour" means! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
