For vapour is naturally moist and cold, 5 I, 3 | exhalation warm and dry; and vapour is potentially like water, 6 I, 4 | rather of the nature of vapour, the other of the nature 7 I, 4 | earth and on its surface is vapour, while that rising from 8 I, 4 | rises above the moister vapour, which is heavy and sinks 9 I, 9 | the upper air, then the vapour cools because its heat is 10 I, 9 | The exhalation of water is vapour: air condensing into water 11 I, 9 | sun is near, the stream of vapour flows upwards; when it recedes, 12 I, 10| 10~Some of the vapour that is formed by day does 13 I, 10| and hoar-frost.

For dew 16 I, 10| hoar-frost. For obviously vapour is warmer than water, having 17 I, 10| there is no wind. For the vapour could not be raised unless 18 I, 10| phenomena occur because the vapour does not rise high. One 19 I, 10| instance, give off more vapour in a north than in a south 20 I, 10| considerable quantity of vapour has gathered, while in a 21 I, 11| cooling of a great amount of vapour, for the region from which 22 I, 11| the time during which the vapour is collected are considerable. 23 I, 11| there is little: for the vapour collects for it in a single 24 I, 11| freezes there is snow, when vapour freezes there is hoar-frost. 25 I, 11| the moisture to rise as vapour from the earth.~Hail on 26 I, 13| and, they also cool the vapour that rises and condense 27 II, 2 | up and is dissolved into vapour and rises to the upper region, 28 II, 2 | and what goes up again as vapour to come from? For this must 29 II, 3 | it carries little moist vapour and that is why it is hot. ( 30 II, 3 | moist regions, is full of vapour and therefore cold. It is 31 II, 3 | water when it turns into vapour becomes sweet, and the vapour 32 II, 3 | vapour becomes sweet, and the vapour does not form salt water 33 II, 4 | dry. The former is called vapour: for the other there is 34 II, 4 | recedes the cold makes the vapour that had been raised condense 35 II, 4 | as we have said, one like vapour, the other like smoke, both 36 II, 4 | of these as constituents.
