It's being propelled uphill. True. However steam, water vapor is less dense than air and tends to rise, causing thunderstorms, where rising moist air can carry liquid water upward. The steam runs uphill, like a balloon, but the liquid water does not, it is carried. Uh... hot air rises. How can water vapor be less dense than air? You ****ing assholes have no idea of science. I'm Horvath and I approve of this post. |

I'm Horvath and I approve of this post. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air "The addition of water vapor to air (making the air humid) reduces the density of the air, which may at first appear contrary to logic. This occurs because the molecular mass of water (18) is less than the molecular mass of air (around 29). For any gas, at a given temperature and pressure, the number of molecules present is constant for a particular volume. So when water molecules (vapor) are introduced to the air, the number of air molecules must reduce by the same number in a given volume, without the pressure or temperature increasing. Hence the mass per unit volume of the gas (its density) decreases." Who is the one lacking in science knowledge? |

Water vapor is not denser than air is correct. Air is denser. I'm Horvath and I approve of this post. |
