Condensation occurs when water vapor turns into liquid water. In the accompanying diagram, areas 2 and 3 are where warm, moist air is rising and cooling, causing condensation to occur. Area 1 is where the cooled moisture is forming clouds, but it is not yet fully condensed into liquid water droplets. Area 4 is where the precipitation is falling, which is the result of the previously condensed water droplets continuing to combine and fall due to gravity.
