Water in the atmosphere

Water in the atmosphere. Water in the atmosphere exists in all 3 forms: solid, liquid, and vapor. Ice can change to water and then to vapor if heat is added to it. Ice can also change directly to vapor in a process known as sublimation if it is below freezing and the air is very dry .
