Detailed explanation-1: -Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor. Condensation happens one of two ways: Either the air is cooled to its dew point or it becomes so saturated with water vapor that it cannot hold any more water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Condensation: A Warming Process While condensation does cool the air inside of the air parcel, in order for that cooling to occur, that parcel must release heat into the surrounding environment. Thus, when speaking about the effect of condensation on the overall atmosphere, it warms it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Condensation warms the air (because it releases energy to the surrounding air). The warming that occurs with condensation is not easily noticeable to humans, but I bet you’ve noticed the impacts of evaporational cooling.
